38 Section 1C: Synchronizing Information
4. When the installation wizard opens, follow the onscreen instructions. Please note these
important points about the installation process:
䡲 (Windows only) You can choose which desktop software you want to use for
synchronization: Palm Desktop software or Microsoft Outlook. (Microsoft Outlook
desktop software sold separately. Microsoft Outlook synchronization conduit
included.)
䢇 When the install process prompts you to connect your device to your computer, go to
“Connecting Your Palm Centro™ Smart Device to Your Computer” on page 38.
Connecting Your Palm Centro™ Smart Device to Your Computer
1. Plug the AC charger into a wall outlet.
2. Plug the USB sync cable into an available USB port or a powered USB hub on your
computer.
Note
If you use Microsoft Outlook as your desktop email application, select
Microsoft Outlook as your desktop synchronization software. If you select
Microsoft Outlook, Palm Desktop software is still installed on your computer.
When you enter information on your computer, be sure to enter your
information in Microsoft Outlook, not in Palm Desktop software.
Tip
If you want to sync information with applications other than Palm Desktop or
Microsoft Outlook, you need to purchase additional third-party sync
software. This sync software is sometimes called a conduit.
