Creating a user profile
If you need to configure several Palm OS ® handhelds with specific information (such as a
company phone list) before distributing them to their actual users, you can create a user profile
to load the data into a handheld without associating that data with a user name. The User Profile
feature is designed only for the first-time HotSync operation, before you assign a User ID to a
particular handheld.
To create a user profile:
1. Open Palm Desktop software.
2. From the User pop-up menu, choose Edit Users.
