Palm Desktop software

Palm Desktop includes the same main applications as your G18 pda phone: Address Book, Date Book, To Do List, Memo Pad, Expense, and desktop e-mail connectivity. You can use the HotSync feature of this software to back up and exchange data between your pda phone and your computer.

It’s a good idea to back up your data in case something happens to the data on your G18 pda phone. Changes you make on your G18 pda phone or Palm Desktop appear in both places after you synchronize.

With Palm Desktop, you can do the following:

Work with your G18 pda phone applications on your computer. Palm Desktop duplicates the Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, and Memo Pad applications on your pda phone, so that you can view, enter, and modify any data stored on your pda phone.

Back up the data stored on your pda phone with HotSync technology and synchronize the data on your Palm Desktop. Synchronization is a one-step procedure that ensures your data is always safe and up to date. See “Exchanging and Updating Data using HotSync Operations” in Chapter 11 for more information.

Import and export data, so you can easily transfer data from other desktop applications into any of your main applications. See “Importing data” in Chapter 3 for more information.

Print your Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, and Memo Pad information on any printer.

Connecting the HotSync cable

The HotSync cable that comes with your G18 pda phone enables you to synchronize the information on your G18 pda phone with the Palm Desktop using HotSync technology.
