Palm TREOPROBLKSPT manual Switching Between Sync Mode and Setup Mode

Tip

For best performance, plug your USB cable directly into a USB port on your computer. If your computer has USB ports on both the front and back, we suggest using the back port. If you use a USB hub, make sure it is a powered hub.

5.Connect the USB cable to the bottom of your smartphone to run setup. (The Setup window may take a minute or so to open on your computer.)

6.On your computer, select Install sync software on your PC and follow the installation instructions that appear on both your computer and your device. (If prompted on a Windows Vista computer, click Continue.)

7.Click Sync your PC and Treo, or disconnect your Treo Pro smartphone from your computer and synchronize later by simply reconnecting them (see “Synchronizing With a USB Connection” on page 48).

Switching Between Sync Mode and Setup Mode

After setup is complete and you synchronize for the first time, the connection switches from Setup Mode to Sync Mode. In Sync Mode, your device synchronizes with your computer every time you connect them using the USB cable, provided that you have the current version of the desktop sync software installed on your computer. The connection stays in Sync Mode unless you manually switch it to Setup Mode. For example, if at some point after initial setup you decide to download the User Guide, you need to switch to Setup Mode. Or if you didn’t install the desktop sync software, or you want to install it on another computer, you use Setup Mode to do it.

Important

Even if you are in Sync Mode, synchronization cannot take place unless you have the desktop sync software installed on your computer. If you did not install the software during initial setup but you want to synchronize, switch to Setup Mode so that you can install the software.

1.Press Start and select Programs.

2.Select PC Setup , and then select Set up my PC.
