Problem Solution
I cannot perform a HotSync
operation. What should I check
to make sure I’m doing it
correctly?
■ Make sure the HotSync cradle/cable is connected securely.
On a Windows computer try these steps:
1. Check the Windows system tray to make sure the HotSync
Manager is running. If it is not, click Start on the Windows
taskbar, and then select Programs. Navigate to the Palm
Desktop software program group, and select HotSync
Manager. You should also see “Selecting HotSync setup
options” in Chapter 16 for instructions on selecting the
correct HotSync Manager settings.
2. Make sure you selected Local USB or Local Serial, as
appropriate, from the HotSync Manager menu.
3. If you are using the serial cradle/cable, make sure you
selected the correct serial port on the Local tab in the Setup
dialog box. It should be set to the port where you connected
the HotSync cradle/cable.
