1500 terminal. When it “hears” a HotSync command, HotSync Manager synchronizes data
in the Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, Memo Pad, Mail and Expense applications. It
can synchronize the data even when Palm Desktop is not running!
Once you complete a few simple setup steps, performing a HotSync operation is as simple as
pressing a button. Follow the steps in the next section to complete the setup.
Performing a HotSync Operation for the First Time
The first time you synchronize your data, you need to enter user information on both the SPT
1500 terminal and the Palm Desktop. Once you enter this information and synchronize, the
HotSync Manager recognizes your SPT 1500 terminal and doesn’t ask for this information
again. If you are a System Administrator preparing several SPT 1500 terminals for a group
of users, see Creating a User Profile on page 8-12 before performing the following steps.
Important: You must perform your first HotSync operation with a local, direct
connection, rather than using a modem.
To perform a HotSync operation for the first time:
1. Double-click the Palm Desktop icon on the Windows desktop (or select Palm
Desktop from the Start menu) to start the Palm Desktop software.
2. Click the icon in the Windows System Tray to open the HotSync Manager menu.
Tip: The Windows System Tray is usually in the lower-right corner on your computer
display. The location may vary depending on the location of the taskbar and the
version of Windows you are using.
3. Click Local from the HotSync Manager menu to indicate that you are using the
cradle to synchronize.
4. Turn on the SPT 1500 terminal and slide it into the cradle.
