Palm Handhelds

This chapter tells how to configure a Palm handheld organizer running the

Palm OS to use Globalstar data service. To do this, you physically connect

the Palm handheld to your QUALCOMM Globalstar Tri-Mode Phone, then,

in most cases, set up a wireless “modem” and a network connection.

Configuration procedures are similar for all models of Palm handhelds (III,

V, VII). However, to connect different models you may need different cables

or optional adapters.

Note

The examples in this chapter use Palm OS 3.1.1. You may need

a newer Palm OS, depending on which Palm you use, and newer

Palm OS versions may differ from the examples here.
