							Setting up your computer
Synchronization lets you enter information on your computer (using Palm
Desktop or Microsoft Outlook for Windows) and then efficiently transfer that
information to your Treo. At the same time, changes you make on the Treo are
transferred to Palm Desktop or Microsoft Outlook. Even if you manage all your
contacts on your Treo, synchronization is a great way to back up your data.
Before you can synchronize, you need to install the Palm Desktop
synchronization software on your computer. Even if you already own a Palm
Powered device and have installed a previous version, you must install the
software that comes on the CD with your Treo.

IMPORTANT: If you’re
upgrading from another
Palm Powered device, follow
the upgrade steps on page
128 before you set up your
computer for your new Treo.

							Installing the Palm Desktop synchronization software on
your computer
Your computer needs to have all its resources available to install the
software. Follow these guidelines for a successful installation:
1. Exit any applications that are currently running on your computer,
including those running in the background.
2. Insert the CD that came with your Treo into the CD-ROM drive on your
computer. If you are installing on a Macintosh, double-click the CD icon
on the desktop, then double-click the Installer icon.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions of the installation program. Click Install
Now to install the Palm Desktop software. Please note these important
points about the installation process:

your computer ( ).
•If you want to synchronize data with applications other than Palm
Desktop or Microsoft Outlook, you need to purchase additional third-
party conduit software.

30 ::   Synchronizing contacts and other personal data
We strongly recommend that
you install the Palm Desktop
synchronization software
soon after you start using
your Treo, and that you
synchronize your Treo and
computer frequently to keep
your information up-to-date
(and backed up) in both
locations.
