Customizing HotSync application settings

For each application, you can define how records are handled during synchronization. These synchronization settings are called a “conduit.” By default, a HotSync operation synchronizes data for all the applications that are present on your console and in Palm Desktop software.

In general, you should leave the settings to synchronize all files. The only reason you might want to change these settings is to overwrite data on either your console or Palm Desktop software, or to avoid synchronizing a particular type of file because you don’t use it.

In addition to the conduits for Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, Memo Pad, Photos, and Music, Palm Desktop software includes High Score, System, and Install conduits. The High Score conduit synchronizes the high score database with the Tournament Zone on the Tapwave web site. The System conduit backs up the system information stored on your console, including Graffiti 2 ShortCuts. The Install conduit installs applications on your console. You can install additional conduits for add-on applications that include desktop synchronization features.

1.Click the HotSync icon in the Windows system tray (bottom-right corner of the taskbar).

TIP: You can also click the HotSync command on the Palm Desktop software menu bar.

2.From the HotSync Manager menu, choose Custom.
