Handspring 300 manual Customizing HotSync application settings, 218

Customizing HotSync application settings

For each application, you can define a set of options that determines how records are handled during synchronization. These options are called a “conduit.” By default, a HotSync operation synchronizes all files between the phone and your desktop software.

In general, you should leave the settings to synchronize all files. The only reason you might want to change these settings is to overwrite data on either your phone or your desktop software, or to avoid synchronizing a particular type of file because you don’t use it.

In addition to the conduits for the applications on your phone, HotSync Manager includes System and Install conduits. The System conduit backs up the system information stored on your phone, including keyboard ShortCuts. The Install conduit installs applications on your phone.

To customize HotSync application settings:

1.Click the HotSync Manager icon in the Windows system tray (bottom-right corner of the taskbar).

Tip: You can also click the HotSync command on the Palm Desktop software menu bar.
