Creating a User Profile
A user profile can be created without associating a user name by using
the File Link feature. The feature allows a System Administrator to
configure several phones with specific information before distributing
them to the actual users.
The User Profile feature is designed for first time HotSync operation,
before a User ID is assigned to your phone.
Creating a User Profile
1. Open the Palm Desktop application.
2. Select the Tools menu and click Users.
3. The Users dialog box is displayed. Click the Profiles button.
4. Click the New button. Enter a unique name for the profile.
5. Click OK.
6. Repeat the above steps for each new profile.
7. When all profiles are entered, click OK to exit.
8. Select the desired user profile from the list and create data for the
profile.
Using a Profile for the First Time
1. Place your phone in the cradle.
2. Press the HotSync button on the cradle to start the HotSync
operation.
3. Enter the lock code.
Note: The lock code should be the last four digits of your social security
number, your PCS phone number, or 0000.
4. Select the desired profile from the list and click “OK”.
Note: The next time a HotSync operation is performed, the Palm Desktop
application prompts you to assign a User Name to your phone.
