2. Click the HotSync Controls tab and select any of the following

options:

your Macintosh to synchronize with your
handheld. By default, the serial port monitor is
enabled whenever you start your Macintosh.
Keep this default if your HotSync cradle is
always connected to a specific port (USB,
serial, or modem). If, however, you use the
same port for other devices besides the
HotSync cradle, disable the serial port monitor
and then enable it manually only when you
connect the cradle to perform a HotSync
operation.

Enable
HotSync

startup

Activates the serial port monitor automatically
each time you start your computer. If this
option is not checked, you must open HotSync
Manager and select the Enabled option before
you can perform a HotSync operation.
