Performing a HotSync operation for the first time

When the HotSync process is complete, you can disconnect your pda phone from HotSync cable.

Creating a user profile

You can create a user profile to load data into an pda phone without associating that data with a user name, using the File Link feature. This feature lets System Administrators configure several (product company name) pda phones with specific information (such as a company phone list) before distributing them to their actual users. For more information on the File Link option, see “Using File Link” later in this chapter.

The User Profile feature is designed only for the first-time HotSync operation, before you assign a User ID to a particular pda phone.

To create a user profile:

1.Open Palm Desktop.

2.From the Tools menu, choose Users.

3.Click Profiles.

4.Click New. Enter a unique name for the profile, and click OK.

5.Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each profile that you want to create. When you have finished, click OK to return to Palm Desktop.

6.Select the profile from the User list and create the data for the profile (for example, company phone list, and so on).
