Preparing your handheld

There are a few steps you must perform to prepare your handheld for
a modem HotSync operation.

Serial Port

Identifies the port for the modem. If you are
unsure of the port assignment, look at the
Modem Properties in the Windows Control
Panel.

Speed

Determines the speed at which data is
transferred. Try the As Fast As Possible rate
first, and adjust downward if you experience
problems. This setting allows Palm Desktop
software and your handheld to find and use
the fastest speed.

Modem

Identifies the modem type or manufacturer.
Refer to your modem manual or face plate for
its type or settings. If you’re not sure of your
modem type or your modem doesn’t match
any that appear in the list, select Hayes Basic.

Setup String

Identifies the setup string for your particular
modem. Not all modems require a setup
string. Refer to your modem manual and enter
the setup string if recommended by the
manufacturer.
