Palm DualDate Getting Started Guide, Revision 1.1 2
Palm DualDate requires the following:
• A handheld running, or upgradeable to, Palm OS® 3.5, 4.0, or 4.1
• At least 300KB free memory is recommended, which includes:
oApproximately 160 KB free memory for the DualDate application
oEnough free memory to accommodate a shared calendar in addition to your Palm
Date Book
Important
Installing DualDate onto an expanded memory card – such as SD/MMC, Memory Stick, or the
Handspring Springboard Memory Module – is not supported.
Installation
You can install the Palm DualDate application using the Palm Install Tool or by having someone
beam it to you.
Once installed on your handheld, you can launch DualDate either by tapping the DualDate icon
from the Applications Launcher or by pressing the Date Book button.
Notes:
• While most people will use DualDate exclusively, any changes you make to your personal
calendar in DualDate will appear in your Date Book application, and vice versa.
• DualDate adds “Share Calendar” and “Delete Calendar” entries to the standard Date Book Record
menu list. A “Select Color” entry is added to the Options menu and “Share Private Events” is
added to the Options > Preferences dialog box.
• When installed, DualDate inherits your existing Date Book Preferences and Display settings.
• Installing DualDate does not change the Date Book HotSync conduits or affect your Palm
Desktop Date Book display. The shared calendar is visible only in the Palm DualDate
application on your handheld.
Removal
Removing Palm DualDate from your handheld will not affect the Palm Date Book application. All
your personal calendar information will be retained, including changes made while DualDate was in
use.
All Palm DualDate information is backed up to your desktop when you perform a HotSync operation,
including the DualDate application and the database it uses to store the shared calendar.
