Step 4: Installing the Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software on your computer

The Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software extends many of the functions of your CLIÉ handheld to your computer, featuring the same main applications as those on your CLIÉ handheld: Address Book, Date Book, To Do List, Memo Pad, and desktop e-mail connectivity. You can use the HotSync® Manager feature of this software to back up and exchange data between your CLIÉ handheld and your computer.

Notes

•Do not connect the cradle to a USB connector of your computer before installing the Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software. The installation of the software might not be performed correctly.

•If you are already using a Sony CLIÉ Handheld (PEG-S300/S320/N610C/ N710C) or other Palm™ OS PDA device, and Palm Desktop software is installed on your computer: uninstall it and reinstall the Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software using the supplied Installation CD-ROM. For details, see “Upgrading the existing Palm Desktop software” on page 34.

•The Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software supplied to this CLIÉ handheld (PEG-T615C/T415) does not support Expense.

•To introduce the CLIÉ data of your old CLIÉ handheld into the new one, see “Using data of another Sony CLIÉ Handheld” in the Operating Instructions manual.
