Common Tasks
Exchanging and updating data:
HotSync operations
The HotSync process automatically synchronizes — that is, exchanges
and updates — data between your handheld and desktop software.
Changes you make on your handheld or desktop software appear in
both places after a HotSync operation. HotSync technology
synchronizes only the needed portions of files, thus reducing
synchronization time. You can synchronize your data directly by
connecting your handheld to your computer with the cradle or by
beaming the data from the IR port on your handheld to the IR port on
your computer, or indirectly with a modem or network. See Chapter
8 for information about performing HotSync operations via the IR
port, a modem, or a network.
Performing a HotSync operation for the first time
The first time you synchronize your data, you need to enter user
information on both the handheld and Palm Desktop software. After
you enter this information and synchronize, the HotSync Manager
recognizes your handheld and doesn’t ask for this information again.
If you are a System Administrator preparing several handhelds for a
group of users, you may want to create a user profile. See “Creating a
user profile” in Chapter 8 before performing the following steps.
Important:
You must use the cradle for your
first
HotSync operation.
The following steps assume that you have already installed the Palm
Desktop software. If you have not installed this software, see
“Installing Palm Desktop software” in Chapter 1 for instructions.
