note these important points about the installation process:

•When the language selection screen appears, select the same language you selected on your Treo 680.

•WINDOWS ONLY You can choose which desktop software you want to use for synchronization:

Palm Desktop software or Microsoft Outlook.

NOTE Whether you select to synchronize with Microsoft Outlook or Palm Desktop software, Palm Desktop software is still installed on your computer. If you use Outlook as your desktop email application, select Outlook as your desktop synchronization software. Remember that when you enter information on your computer, enter it in the software you selected in this step.

•The install process prompts you to connect your smartphone to your computer. Go to the next section.

Connecting your smartphone to your computer

After you install the desktop software (see Installing the desktop synchronization software), you’re ready to connect your smartphone to your computer.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN To set up your computer, you need the sync cable that came with your Treo 680.

1If necessary, connect the international adapter to the AC charger plug.

2Plug the AC charger into a wall outlet.

3Plug the USB sync cable into an available USB port or a powered USB hub on your computer.

TIP For best performance, plug your sync cable directly into a USB port on your computer. If your computer has USB ports on both the front and back, we suggest using the back port; the front port is often a low-power port. If you use a USB hub, make sure the hub has its own power supply.
