Advanced HotSync®
Operations
HotSync® technology enables you to synchronize data between one or more Palm OS® handhelds and Palm™ Desktop software or another PIM such as Microsoft Outlook. To synchronize data, you must connect your Palm™ m100 handheld and Palm Desktop software. You can synchronize your data either directly or indirectly. Direct methods include connecting your handheld to the HotSync cable attached to your computer, or using infrared communications. An indirect method is using a modem.
This chapter describes how to select HotSync options and perform a HotSync operation via infrared communications or a modem. See “Exchanging and updating data: HotSync operations” in Chapter 4 for information about performing your first and subsequent local HotSync operations.
Selecting HotSync setup options

To set the HotSync options on a Windows computer:
1.Click the HotSync Manager icon in the Windows system tray.
2.Choose Setup.
