What information is synchronized?
If you use the preset settings, information from all the following applications is transferred
between your handheld and Palm Desktop software each time you synchronize your handheld
with your computer:
Information from Expense and VersaMail
is synchronized on Windows computers only.
In addition, the preset settings back up system information from your handheld to your computer
and
install add-on applications
from your computer to your handheld.
If you’ve installed applications from the CD, these applications may also be included in the presets
for synchronization.
If you want to synchronize applications other than the ones using the preset settings, see the
User
Guide
on the web.
During CD installation, you can choose to synchronize your handheld with Microsoft Outlook on
your computer (Windows only). If you do, information in Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Memos is
synchronized with information in Outlook. Information in Expense, Note Pad, and Media is still
synchronized with information in Palm Desktop software. You can insert the CD at any time to
choose synchronization with Outlook if you did not do so during the initial installation.
You can also set up the VersaMail® application to synchronize with Outlook.
You can synchronize more than one handheld with your computer. For example, family members
can synchronize their handhelds with the same copy of Palm Desktop software. Just make sure
that each handheld has its own username; Palm Desktop software reads the username and
recognizes the handheld during synchronization. Loss of data may occur from sharing the same
username.
