I tried to do a loc al
HotSync operation,
but it did not
complete
successfully.
Try each of these in turn:
■Make sure HotSync Manager is
running. If HotSync Manager is
running, exit and res tart it.
■Make sure you selected Local from the
HotSync Manager menu or the Palm
Desktop for IBM WorkPad menu.
■Check the cable connection between the
cradle and the serial port on your
computer.
■Make sure you selected the co rrect
serial port on the Loca l tab in the Setup
dialog. It should be set to the port where
you connected the cradle.
■Try a lower baud r ate setting on th e
Local tab in the Setup dialog.
■Make sure you are not running another
program, such as America Online,
CompuServe, or WinFax, that uses the
serial port you selected in the Setup
dialog box.
■Read the HotSync Log for the user
account for which you are performing a
HotSync operation.
■Make sure your companion is seated in
the cradle correctly.
■Make sure the gold-plated connectors
on the cradle and your companion are
clean. Use a pencil eraser to clean them.
