Installing and removing applications

This section explains how to install and remove applications on your Visor handheld and how to remove Palm™ Desktop software from your computer.

Installing add-on applications

Your Visor handheld comes with the Date Book, Date Book Plus, Address Book, To Do List, Memo Pad, Expense, Calculator, City Time, and Mail applications installed and ready to use.

You can also install additional applications on your handheld, such as games and other software. The Install Tool makes it easy to install software on your Visor handheld during a HotSync® operation. There are a variety of third-party applications available for your Visor handheld. To learn more about these applications, go to the web site: http://www.handspring.com.

Note: Any game or application that you install on your handheld resides in RAM memory; you can delete them at any time.

To install add-on software on your handheld:

1.On your computer, copy or download the application you want to install into the add-on folder in your Palm Desktop directory on your computer.

Note: If the software you download is compressed, you need to decompress it into this folder. If you prefer to place the application into another folder, you need to navigate to that folder before you complete step 5.

2.Double-click the Palm Desktop icon on your desktop.
