Getting to know your handheld computer

What is a TRGpro handheld computer?

With your TRGpro handheld computer, you will no longer have trouble getting to meetings and appointments on time, remembering people’s names and personal details, or keeping track of all the items on your to do list. The handheld computer can help you improve your track record in all these areas, both at work and at home.

You can enter all your schedule details in Date Book so you can view them by the day, week, or month; you can even set an alarm to remind you of important meetings. Keep all your contact names, addresses, phone numbers, and other details in Address Book, so you can find them as soon as you need them. Add your tasks to your To Do List, prioritize them so you don’t overlook them, and assign them a due date.

To make sure you don’t lose any of this important information, you can synchronize your data with Palm Desktop software on your computer so you always have a backup copy. You can set different levels of security for your handheld computer so unauthorized eyes cannot view your data.

When you are out of the office, track your expenses for your expense reports; then transfer the data to your computer to print it out. You can write, edit, and view your e-mail, and then synchronize your e-mail with your desktop e-mail application when you return to your office.
