Upgrading From Another Palm OS® by ACCESS Device

Note:

If you are setting up your first Palm OS® by ACCESS device, skip ahead to

 

“Connecting Your Palm Centro™ Smart Device to Your Computer” on

 

page 34.

 

 

You can transfer all compatible applications and information from your previous Palm OS device to your new Palm Centro™ smart device. This includes your calendar events, contacts, memos, and tasks, as well as your application settings and any compatible third-party applications and files.

When you install Palm Desktop software, some third-party applications may be quarantined because they are not compatible with the Palm OS software version 5.4.9 on your new Centro device. Quarantined files are not installed on your device, nor are they deleted; these files are placed in a new folder on your computer: C:\Program Files\Palm\<device name>\PalmOS5 Incompatible Apps. (On some systems, Palm may be replaced with palmOne or Handspring.)

Note:

Some third-party utilities allow you to back up your old device’s

 

information onto an expansion card and then transfer the information

 

to your Centro device. We do not recommend this method, because any

 

incompatible applications are also transferred.

 

 

1.Calculate how much space your applications and information occupy on your previous Palm OS device:

Press the Applications icon, and then press Menu .

Select Info on the App menu.

At the bottom of the screen, select Size.
