CHAPTER 5 Moving and Managing Info Between Your Device and Your Computer
Outlook. Other info, such as voice memos and notes, is synchronized with the corresponding info
in Palm Desktop software.
If you set up a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync® account
so that you can synchronize email and
Calendar information with info in Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, info from those applications is
synchronized with info in Microsoft Exchange, while information from the other applications listed
previously is synchronized with info in Outlook or Palm Desktop.
Desktop software Any information you enter using desktop software
is updated with info in
your device’s program memory.
Sync items Any sync items on your device’s hard drive are updated.
You can do a full sync in the following ways:
• Using the USB sync cable attached to your device and your computer
• Wirelessly using Bluetooth® wireless technology or Wi-Fi
® capabilities on your device
• Using your device’s infrared (IR) port
• Connecting to your company’s network, either wirelessly or using a cable (Windows only)
The first time you synchronize, you must use the USB sync cable or your
device’s IR port. If you followed the instructions to synchronize during initial setup
, you’ve already
covered this requirement.
To synchronize, HotSync Manager must be active. HotSync Manager is installed when you install
Palm Desktop software from the software installation CD
. If you haven’t run the install program
from the CD, you don't have HotSync Manager on your computer.
On a Windows computer, you know HotSync Manager is active when its icon appears in the
lower-right corner of your screen. If the icon is not there, turn it on by clicking Start and then
selecting Programs. Navigate to the palmOne program group, and select HotSync Manager.

Desktop software reads
the username and
recognizes the device
during synchronization.
