Choosing a different primary location
If you travel to another location and you want alerts to appear based on local time, 
you need to change the primary location to update the system time. You may 
prefer, however, to use the secondary locations to view the local date and time, and 
to leave the primary location unchanged.
To change the primary location:
1.Tap the pick list next to the current primary location.
2.Tap the location you want to use as the new primary location. 
If the new location is in another time zone, World Clock automatically updates the 
date and time in all the applications on your handheld.
Setting the secondary locations
The secondary locations display the date and time in two locations other than the 
primary location. You can use the secondary locations to view the time in places to 
which you travel or need to contact people.
The date and time in the secondary locations are based on the date and time 
settings in the primary location.

CHAPTER 16
Performing HotSync
®
 Operations
HotSync® technology enables you to synchronize data between one or more 
Palm OS
® handhelds and Palm™ Desktop software or another personal 
information manager (PIM) such as Microsoft Outlook. To synchronize data, you 
must connect your handheld and your computer either directly or indirectly. 
Direct methods include placing your handheld in the cradle/cable attached to 
your computer, using infrared communications, or using a Bluetooth connection. 
Indirect methods include using a modem or network HotSync technology.
Selecting HotSync setup options
You can choose when HotSync Manager will run. If necessary, you can adjust the 
local and modem HotSync settings as well.
To set the HotSync options on a Windows computer:
1.Click the HotSync icon ™
 in the Windows system tray (bottom-right corner 
of the taskbar).
2.Select Setup.
3.Click the General tab, and select one of the following options:
Always availableAdds HotSync Manager to the Startup folder and 
constantly monitors the communication port for 
synchronization requests from your handheld. With this 
option the HotSync Manager synchronizes data even 
when Palm Desktop software is not running. 
						

							Chapter 16 Performing HotSync® Operations

If you’re not sure which option to use, keep the default setting: Always 
available.
4.If you are using a serial cradle/cable, click the Local tab to display the settings 
for the connection between your computer and the handheld cradle/cable, and 
adjust the following options as needed. 
If you are using the USB cradle/cable, you do not need to use the settings on the 
Local tab for a direct HotSync operation. 
5.Click the Modem tab to display the modem settings and adjust the options as 
needed. For more information, see “Conducting modem HotSync operations” 
later in this chapter.
6.If you are attached to a network, click the Network tab to display the network 
settings and adjust the options as needed. For more information, see 
“Conducting network HotSync operations” later in this chapter.
7.Click OK.
Available only when 
the Palm Desktop 
software is runningStarts HotSync Manager and monitors requests 
automatically when you open Palm Desktop software.
ManualMonitors requests only when you select HotSync Manager 
from the Start menu.
Serial PortIdentifies the port that HotSync Manager uses to 
communicate with the cradle/cable. If necessary, you can 
change the port selection.
Yo u r handheld cannot share this port with an internal 
modem or other device. 
SpeedDetermines the speed at which data is transferred between 
your handheld and Palm Desktop software. Try the As Fast 
As Possible rate first, and adjust downward if you experience 
problems. This setting allows your handheld to synchronize 
with computer at the fastest speed possible. 
						

							Selecting HotSync setup options

To set the HotSync options on a Mac computer:
1.Double-click the HotSync Manager icon in the Palm folder.
2.Click the HotSync Controls tab, and select any of the following options.
3.If you are using the USB cradle/cable, you do not need to adjust the settings on 
the Connection Settings tab for a direct HotSync operation; they are set 
automatically when you perform the first HotSync operation. 
HotSync Enabled/
DisabledActivates the transport monitor and prepares your Mac 
computer to synchronize with your handheld. By default, 
the transport monitor is enabled listen on USB and 
PalmConnect whenever you start your computer. 
If you use an optional serial HotSync cradle/cable and you 
use the same serial port for other devices besides the 
HotSync cradle/cable, disable the transport monitor and 
then enable it manually only when you connect the cradle/
cable to perform a HotSync operation. 
Enable HotSync 
software at system 
startupActivates the transport monitor automatically each time 
you start your computer. If this option is not selected, you 
must open HotSync Manager and select the Enabled option 
before you can perform a HotSync operation.

If you are using the optional serial cradle/cable, click the Connection Settings 
tab and select the port where you attached the cradle/cable.
.
You can set both Modem and Printer port settings and prepare your computer 
to synchronize with your handheld using the HotSync cradle/cable or a 
modem. However, choosing both setups prevents you from using either port for 
other operations such as printing, faxing, or AppleTalk networking. 
4.Close the HotSync Software Setup window. 
Customizing HotSync application settings
For each application, you can define a set of options that determines how records 
are handled during synchronization. These options are called a conduit. By default, 
a HotSync operation synchronizes all files between the handheld and 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 
handheld 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, 
Note Pad, and Voice Memo, Palm Desktop software includes System and Install 
conduits. The System conduit backs up the system information stored on your 
handheld, including Graffiti
® ShortCuts. The Install conduit installs add-on 
applications on your handheld. 
To customize HotSync application settings on a Windows computer:
1.Click the HotSync icon   in the Windows system tray (bottom-right corner of 
the taskbar).
You can also click the HotSync command on the Palm Desktop software 
menu bar.
2.From the HotSync Manager menu, select Custom.
3.Select the appropriate user name from the list.
4.Select an application in the Conduit list.
