When setting up your device, you can choose to sign in to an existing HP webOS Account that you may already be using with a webOS smartphone (see What is an HP webOS Account?). If you decide to sign in to an existing account, you can choose to do a one-time transfer of the data stored in the existing HP webOS Account to your device.

NOTE If you use the same HP webOS Account with two devices, after the one-time data transfer, info you enter into the HP webOS Account on one device is not synchronized between the devices. You need to enter the info in both places.
