Setting Up Your Handheld and Your Computer
Step 4: Connecting your handheld to your computer
In this step, you connect your handheld to your computer and synchronize for the first time. 
Synchronizing simply means that any information you enter in one place (your handheld or 
computer) is automatically updated in the other. 
Be sure to synchronize the info in your handheld’s program memory at least
once a day so that you always have an up-to-date backup copy of this info on your computer.
