Palm SPT 1500 Desktop Software
Palm SPT 1500 Desktop terminal software extends many of the functions of your SPT 1500
terminal to your computer. Although using Palm Desktop software is optional, when you use
it with your SPT 1500 terminal and the built-in HotSync technology, you can fully
synchronize the information on your SPT 1500 terminal with the information on your
computer. Changes you make on your SPT 1500 terminal or Palm Desktop appear in both
places after you synchronize.
With Palm Desktop software you can:
t Work with your SPT 1500 terminal applications on your computer. Palm Desktop
duplicates the Date Book, Address Book, To Do List and Memo Pad applications on
your SPT 1500 terminal, so you can view, enter and modify any data stored on your
SPT 1500 terminal.
t Back up the data stored on your SPT 1500 terminal with HotSync technology and
synchronize the data with Palm Desktop. Synchronization is a one-step procedure
that ensures your data is always safe and up-to-date. See Chapter 8, Applications:
HotSync® for information about using this feature.
t Import and export data, so you can easily transfer data from other Windows
applications into Address Book or Memo Pad.
