2.If the HotSync Manager is not running, start it: click the Windows Start button, choose Programs, choose the Palm Desktop for IBM WorkPad program group, and then choose HotSync Manager.

Alternatively, you can start Palm Desktop for IBM WorkPad which automatically opens the HotSync Manager.

3.Press the HotSync button ™ on the cradle.

Note: If you are using an optional HotSync cable instead of a cradle, click the HotSync icon in the Windows system tray and select Local from the menu.

Important: The first time you perform a HotSync operation, you must enter a user name in the New User dialog box and click OK. Every companion should have a unique name. To prevent loss of a user’s data, never try to synchronize more than one companion to the same user name.

The HotSync Progress dialog box appears and synchronization begins.

4.Wait for a message on your companion indicating the process is complete.

After the HotSync process is complete, you can remove your companion from the cradle.
