Handspring Visor manual Using your handheld with Microsoft Outlook Windows only

To ensure a safe and uninterrupted installation of Palm Desktop software, please do the following before installing:

■If you are installing from diskettes (rather than the CD-ROM included in the box), make sure the original Palm Desktop software diskettes are write-protected, and then make backup copies of them. When you finish, use the copies to install the software, and store the original diskettes in a safe place. Refer to your computer’s manual or operating system documentation if you need information about locking or copying diskettes.

■Do not simply copy the Palm Desktop software files to your computer’s hard disk. You must use the installer to place the files in their proper locations and to decompress the files.

To install Palm Desktop software:

1.Exit any open programs, including those that run at startup such as Microsoft Office, and disable any virus-scanning software.

2.Insert the Palm Desktop software CD-ROM into the computer’s CD-ROM drive.

3.When the menu screen appears, click the Install Organizer Software for Your PC button to begin the installation procedure.

4.Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation.

Using your handheld with Microsoft Outlook (Windows only)

The software that comes with your Visor handheld includes everything you need to synchronize your handheld with Microsoft Outlook. If you already have Microsoft Outlook installed on your computer, the installation program prompts you to choose the Microsoft Outlook synchronization option.

Using your handheld with another PIM

If you prefer to use another personal information manager (PIM), such as Lotus Notes, you can use it if third-party connection software, called a conduit, is available for your PIM. You must install the software that came with your Visor handheld along with the conduit for your PIM to synchronize the data between your handheld and your PIM. For information on conduit software, go to this web site: http://www.handspring.com.
