Synchronizing your handheld with your computer

You can synchronize your handheld with your computer in the following ways:

•Using the USB sync cable attached to your handheld and your computer

•Wirelessly using Bluetooth® wireless technology on your handheld

•Using your handheld’s infrared (IR) port

•Connecting to your company’s network, either wirelessly or using a cable (Windows only)

[ ! ] IMPORTANT The first time you synchronize, you must use the USB sync cable or your handheld’s IR port. If you followed the instructions to synchronize during initial setup, you’ve already covered this requirement.

To synchronize, HotSync Manager must be active. HotSync Manager was installed when you installed the software installation CD; if you didn't install the CD, you don't have HotSync Manager on your computer.

On a Windows computer, you know HotSync Manager is active when its icon appears in the lower-right corner of your screen. If the icon is not there, turn it on by clicking Start and then selecting Programs. Navigate to the Palm Desktop software program group, and select HotSync Manager.
