Synchronizing Data

HotSync technology lets you synchronize—exchange and update—data between your Zodiac console and Palm Desktop software or another desktop organizer application such as Microsoft Outlook. You synchronize your data by connecting your console to your computer with the HotSync cable or cradle.

The HotSync process automatically synchronizes data between your console and Palm Desktop software. Changes you make on your console or in Palm Desktop software appear in both places after a HotSync operation. HotSync technology synchronizes only the data that has changed since the last HotSync operation, thus reducing synchronization time.

This chapter describes how to select HotSync options and perform a HotSync operation.

Performing a cable or cradle HotSync operation

The following steps assume that you have already installed the Palm Desktop software. If you have not installed this software, see page 17 for instructions.

1. Connect your console to the HotSync cable or cradle.
