Synchronizing contacts and other personal data | Handspring 600

We strongly recommend that you install the Palm Desktop synchronization software soon after you start using your Treo, and that you synchronize your Treo and computer frequently to keep your information up-to-date (and backed up) in both locations.

Synchronizing contacts and other personal data

Before you can synchronize your contacts and other personal data, you must install the Palm Desktop software from the CD that came with your Treo. See page 29 for instructions.

1.Connect your Treo to your computer as described on page 26.

2.Press the HotSync button on the cable.

3.Wait for your Treo to display a message indicating that the process is complete.

•If nothing happens, make sure that you installed the Palm Desktop

software and that the HotSync Manager application is running on your computer ( ).

•If you want to synchronize data with applications other than Palm Desktop or Microsoft Outlook, you need to purchase additional third- party conduit software.

•If you have any problems performing a HotSync operation, see pages 137-139 for troubleshooting suggestions.
