User's Manual Part 2

Section 25

Upgrading From a Palm OS Handheld

For best results, review the detailed steps in the Upgrade Information section in the electronic

User Guide.

1. Synchronize your old handheld with your old desktop software.

2. Under your Palm or Handspring folder, locate your User Name folder and store a copy of it in a

safe place.

3. Install your new desktop and synchronization software from your PCS Vision CD and put it in

the same location as your old desktop software.

Note:Even if you previously installed Palm OS synchronization software, you must install the new desktop software to

synchronize with a USB HotSync cable.

4. Synchronize your new PCS Treo 300 with your new desktop software, and select the user name

for your old handheld when prompted.

5. If any third party applications or data did not get installed, beam them from your old handheld

to your PCS Treo 300.

6. After you upgrade you have two devices with the same user name. Since each device must have

a unique name, perform a hard reset (see page 40) on your old handheld to remove the user

name and avoid problems synchronizing with that device. The next time you synchronize that

device, be sure to assign it a new name.
