Advanced HotSync ®
Operations
HotSync ® technology enables you to synchronize data between one or
more Palm OS ® handhelds and Palm™ Desktop software or another
PIM such as Microsoft Outlook. To synchronize data, you must
connect your handheld and Palm Desktop software. You can
synchronize your data either directly or indirectly. Direct methods
include connecting your handheld to the cradle/cable attached to
your computer, or using infrared communications. An indirect
method is using a modem.
This chapter describes how to select HotSync options and perform a
HotSync operation via infrared communications or a modem. See
“Exchanging and updating data: HotSync operations” in Chapter 5 for
information about performing your first and subsequent local
HotSync operations.

You can choose when you want HotSync Manager to run. If necessary,
you can adjust the local and modem HotSync settings as well.
To set the HotSync options on a Windows computer:
1. Click the HotSync Manager icon in the Windows system tray.
2. Choose Setup.
