Page 4 Introduction to Your Palm VII™ Handheld
To make sure you don’t lose any important information, you can
synchronize your data with Palm Desktop software on your computer
so you always have a backup copy. You can set different security
levels for your handheld so unauthorized eyes cannot view your data.
When you are out of the office, track your expenses for your expense
reports; then transfer the data to your computer to print it out. You can
write, edit, and view your e-mail, and then synchronize your e-mail
with your desktop E-Mail application when you return to your office.
