Palm Treo 600 Setting up your computer

28 :: Setting up your computer

Setting up your computer

Synchronization lets you enter information on your computer (using Palm® Desktop or

Microsoft Outlook for Windows) and then efficiently transfer that information to your

Treo. At the same time, changes you make on your T reo are transf erred to Palm Desktop

or Microsoft Outlook. Even if you manage all your contacts on your Treo, synchronization

is a great way to back up your data.

Before you can synchronize, you need to install Palm Desktop software on your

computer. Even if you already own a Palm Powered™ device and have installed a

previous version, you must install the software that comes with your Treo.
