What is a HotSync
®
operation?
A HotSync
®
operation is a one-step operation that enables you
to synchronize data between your CLIÉ handheld and your
computer. With just one press of the HotSync button, you can
synchronize your CLIÉ handheld application data with the
Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software data on your computer, back
up the data of your CLIÉ handheld on your computer, and install
add-on applications.
1
Synchronizing the data between your CLIÉ
handheld and your computer
Synchronizes the data of the Date Book, Address Book,
To Do List, and Memo Pad between your CLIÉ handheld
and your computer. You can manage the data of multiple
CLIÉ handhelds separately using the Palm™ Desktop
for CLIÉ software.
2
Saving backup data on your computer
Automatically creates a backup of the data currently held
in your CLIÉ handheld to your computer. If you delete
data by accident, if data is deleted by a sudden battery
shut-off, or if you need to perform a hard reset, a
HotSync
®
operation allows you to restore the data using
the backup data on your computer.
For details on backing up data, refer to page 168.
