Performing a HotSync operation for the first time
The first time you synchronize your data, you need to enter user information on both the handheld
and Palm Desktop software. After you enter this information and synchronize, the HotSync
Manager recognizes your handheld and doesn’t ask for this information again.
If you are a System Administrator preparing several handhelds for a group of users, you may want
to create a user profile. See the section that begins on page 158 before performing the following
steps.
Important: You must use the HotSync cable for your first HotSync operation.
The following steps assume that you have already installed the Palm Desktop software. If you
have not installed this software, see page 21 for instructions.
To perform a local HotSync operation:
1. Connect your handheld to the Hotsync cable. See the section that begins on page 21 for
details.
2. If the HotSync Manager is not enabled, activate it: Open Palm Desktop software, from the
HotSync Menu, choose Setup. Click the HotSync Controls tab and select the Enabled option.
3. Press the HotSync button on the cable.
4. From the Select User dialog box, choose the user name you assigned to your handheld.
The HotSync Progress dialog box appears and synchronization begins.
5. Wait for a message on your handheld indicating that the process is complete.
After the HotSync process is complete, you can remove the cable from your handheld.
