Upgrade information
If you already own a Palm OS ® handheld, you still must install the
version of Palm Desktop software that comes with your PCS Treo 300 into
the same folder as your current Palm Desktop software. When you install
the new version in the same folder as the previous version, all your data is
preserved. If you use another personal information manager (PIM), you
still need to install Palm Desktop software in order to update the HotSync
Manager on your computer. You perform HotSync operations in exactly
the same way, so you can quickly synchronize your old data with your
new phone.
To upgrade:
1. Synchronize your old handheld with your old Palm Desktop
software. This ensures that the latest information from your
handheld is on your desktop computer.
2. (Optional) To ensure against any data loss, go to the folder that
stores Palm Desktop software (this is usually the Handspring or Palm
folder), copy (do not move) your user name folder, and store the
copy outside the Palm Desktop software folder.
3. Follow the installation instructions that begin on page 21. Be sure to
install the new software in the same folder as the old software.
4. Connect your new PCS Treo 300 to the HotSync cable and press the
HotSync button on the cable. If the Select User dialog box appears,
select your user name.
5. Compare the applications on your old handheld and your PCS Treo
300.
6. Beam any third party applications that did not transfer from your old
handheld to your PCS Treo 300, or install them from the original
files.
