your device is connected to your computer, opening My Computer or Windows Explorer

smartphone. Double-click this icon to display folders containing items you synchronized, such
as music files, pictures, and videos.
Synchronizing With a USB Connection
Every time you connect your TreoPro smartphone to your computer, the desktop sync
software automatically turns on and checks whether changes you made on the computer or
on the device need to be synchronized.
Tip You can set the ActiveSync window to open automatically when you
connect your computer and your TreoPro smartphone. In the ActiveSync
window, select File > Connection Settings, and then check the Open
ActiveSync when my device connects box.
Did you know? The ActiveSync icon turns from gray to green when your device is
connected to your computer.
Important Use the USB cable that came with your TreoPro smartphone. If you need to
use a replacement cable, make sure it is approved by Palm for use with your
smartphone. Using an unapproved cable may cause sync errors.
