Synchronizing Information—The Basics

Synchronizing means that information that is entered or updated in one place (your device or your computer) is automatically updated in the other, so there’s no need to enter the information twice. We strongly recommend that you synchronize your Centro device with your computer or corporate server frequently to keep your information up-to-date (and backed up) in both locations.

Important:	To sync your information, you must install the software from the Palm
	Software Installation CD that came with your Centro smart device
	by Palm—even if you sync with Outlook or another third-party
	application. See “Installing the Desktop Synchronization Software” on
	page 32 for instructions.

Information from all the following applications is updated by default each time you synchronize your device with your desktop software:

Tip:	You can also set up the VersaMail® application to synchronize email on
	your device with email on your computer. See the VersaMail application
	User Guide located on your Palm Software Installation CD, or visit
	go.palm.com/centro-sprint/ for more information.
