With your iQue handheld, you can successfully manage meetings and appointments, remember people’s names and personal
details, and keep track of all the items on your To Do List both at work and at home.
You will find it easy to start using the iQue handheld, become familiar with its physical buttons and controls, and use HotSync
®
technology to synchronize (exchange and update) your iQue handheld and Palm™ Desktop software. Once you familiarize yourself
with the basic workings of the iQue handheld, you can easily do the following:
• Enter all your schedule details in the Date Book and view them by the day, week, or month. You can also set an alarm to
remind you of an important event.
• Keep all your contact names, addresses, phone numbers, and other details in the Address Book.
• Add your tasks to the To Do List, prioritize them, and assign them a due date.
• Ensure that you do not lose any important information by synchronizing your data with Palm Desktop software on your
computer to create a backup copy.
• Customize your handheld and set different levels of security to prevent unauthorized users from viewing your data.
This manual describes how to use the Palm™ applications included with your iQue handheld. To learn how to use the Que
Applications for navigating with your iQue, please refer to the Que Applications Guide included in your product box. You can also
find instructions there for using the yoke mount.
