48 Section 1C: Connecting to Your Computer
1. Close any applications that are currently running on your computer, including those
running in the background. (Your computer must have all its resources available before
you can install the software.)
2. Insert the Getting Started CD for Palm Treo 800w smart device into the CD drive on your
computer.
3. Follow the installation instructions that appear on your computer. (When offered the
option to set up synchronization, with an Exchange server, select No. See “Setting Up
Wireless Synchronization” on page308 for instructions on synchronizing with a server.)
4. Connect your Treo to your computer to sync for the first time (see “Synchronizing With a
USB Connection” on page 50).
Using the Desktop Sync Software
After the desktop sync software is installed on your computer, synchronization happens
automatically anytime you connect your Treo to your computer, as described in the next
section. You can also open the desktop sync software window on your computer to perform
the following tasks:
䢇Install applications from your computer to your Treo (see “Installing Applications From
Your Computer” on page298) or to an expansion card inserted into the expansion card
slot on your device (see “Installing Applications Onto an Expansion Card” on page299).
䢇Change which applications synchronize.
䢇In ActiveSync desktop software on a Windows XP computer, enter settings to synchronize
wirelessly with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or with Exchange Server 2003 upgraded
to Service Pack 2.
Did you know? You can also change which applications synchronize (see “Changing Which
Applications Sync” on page314) and enter settings to synchronize
wirelessly (see “Setting Up Wireless Synchronization” on page308).
Whether you enter changes on your Treo or on your computer, the changes
are transferred to the other location the next time you synchronize.
