Conducting a HotSync operation via modem
You can use a modem to synchronize your CLIE handheld when you are
away from your computer. A HotSync operation via modem allows you to
back up your CLIE data to your computer away from your computer.
Notes
• The first HotSync operation must be local, using the cradle. After that, you can
perform a modem HotSync operation.
• It may take many minutes to complete a HotSync operation via modem. To minimize
the time required to synchronize data with a modem, we suggest you define the files
and/or applications you synchronize during a modem HotSync operation in
advance. For details, see “To select the conduits for a modem HotSync operation” on
page 129.
Before you start performing a HotSync operation via modem
Check the following:
• A modem or terminal adapter is connected to your computer.
• The CLIE Modem PEGA-MD700 (not supplied) must be connected to your
CLIE handheld.
• The Palm Desktop for CLIE software must be properly configured for use
with the modem.
