Setting up your computer | Handspring 600 guide

Installing the Palm Desktop synchronization software on your computer

Your computer needs to have all its resources available to install the software. Follow these guidelines for a successful installation:

1.Exit any applications that are currently running on your computer, including those running in the background.

2.Insert the CD that came with your Treo into the CD-ROM drive on your computer. If you are installing on a Macintosh, double-click the CD icon on the desktop, then double-click the Installer icon.

3.Follow the onscreen instructions of the installation program. Click Install Now to install the Palm Desktop software. Please note these important points about the installation process:

•If a language selection screen appears, click the same language you use on your Treo.

•During the installation process, you will be prompted to synchronize for the ﬁrst time.

If you are installing on a computer at work, make sure your company allows you to install new software. Contact your company’s IT department for help.
