Migration information

nformation

You can replace your previous Palm OS device and migrate to a Zodiac
console and retain your previous data and applications. If you already own a
Palm OS device, Tapwave recommends that you install your new Zodiac
desktop software into the same folder as your current Palm Desktop software.
All of your data is preserved when you install the new software in the same
folder as the previous software. If you use another desktop organizer
application, such as Microsoft Outlook, you still must install the Zodiac
desktop software CD that came with your new console.
You can perform HotSync operations on your new console in exactly the same
way as you did on your old device, allowing you to quickly synchronize your
existing data with your new console. Just remember to synchronize your old
device with Palm Desktop software before you synchronize with your new
console, so you have the latest information. When you synchronize your new
console for the first time, select the Desktop Overwrites Handheld option for
all the conduits. For more information on conduit settings, see

page 147

NOTE:

NOTE: If you used security features (for example, password protection) on
your previous Palm OS device, you must migrate to the most current desktop.
The method of storing passwords has changed with the latest release of the
desktop. Therefore, you must migrate to synchronize your password-protected
information.

1. Synchronize your old device with your old Palm Desktop software to

ensure that the latest information from your device is on your desktop
computer.

2. (Optional) To prevent data loss, go to the folder that stores Palm Desktop

software, copy the folder and its contents, rename it (for example, Palm
Backup), and store the copy outside the Palm Desktop software folder.
