Installing the desktop synchronization software

IMPORTANT Even if you already own a Palm OS device and have installed a previous version of the desktop software, you must install the software from the Palm Software Installation CD that came with your Treo 755P smartphone.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN If you are installing on a computer at work, make sure your computer is configured to let you install new software. Contact your company’s IT department for help.

TIP If you want to sync info with applications other than Palm Desktop or Microsoft Outlook, you need to purchase additional third-party sync software. This sync software is sometimes called a conduit.

1Close any apps that are running on your computer, including those that are minimized. Your computer needs all its resources to install the software.

2Insert the Palm Software Installation CD into the CD drive on your computer.

3If you are installing on a Mac, double-click the CD icon on the desktop, and then double-click the PalmSoftware.pkg icon.

4When the installation wizard opens, follow the onscreen instructions. Please note these important points about the installation process:

•When the language selection screen appears, click the same language you selected on your smartphone.

•You can choose which desktop software you want to use for synchronization: Palm Desktop software or Microsoft Outlook.
