Page 12 Introduction to Your Palm VII™ Handheld
Each handheld must have a unique name
After you finish the upgrade process described above, you have two
handhelds with the same name. This is an undesirable situation. Each
handheld must have a unique name in order to prevent unexpected
results during HotSync operations and other complications.
We strongly recommend that you perform a hard reset on your old handheld.
See “Performing a hard reset” in Appendix A for details.
A hard reset not only erases all data from the old handheld; it also
erases the name and makes that handheld a clean slate, ready to
receive a new name. The next time you perform a HotSync operation
with this old handheld, you are asked to give it a name. Be sure to give
it a unique name.
Palm Desktop organizer software
Palm Desktop software extends many of the functions of your
handheld to your computer and serves to back up all your data.
Viewing and editing your data using Palm Desktop software is
optional. However, when you use it with your handheld and the built-
in HotSync technology, you can fully synchronize the information on
your handheld with the information on your computer.
It is a good idea to back up your data in case something happens to the
data on your handheld. Changes you make on your handheld or Palm
Desktop software appear in both places after you synchronize.
With Palm Desktop software, you can do the following:
■ Work with your handheld applications on your computer. Palm
Desktop software duplicates the Date Book, Address Book, To Do
List, and Memo Pad applications on your handheld, so you can
view, enter, and modify any data stored on your handheld.
■ Back up the data stored on your handheld with HotSync
technology and synchronize the data on your Palm Desktop
software. Synchronization is a one-step procedure that ensures
your data is always safe and up-to-date. See “Exchanging and
updating data: HotSync operations” in Chapter 4 for more
information.
■ Import and export data. See “Importing data” in Chapter 2 for
more information.
■ Print your Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, and Memo Pad
information on any printer.
