CHAPTER 21
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).
If you do not see the HotSync icon, you need to start HotSync Manager: On the 
Windows desktop, click Start, and then select Programs. Navigate to the Palm 
Desktop software program group, and select HotSync Manager. 
Alternatively, you can start the Palm Desktop software, which automatically 
opens the HotSync Manager.
2.Select Setup.

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. 
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.
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.

2.Click the HotSync Controls tab, and select any of the following options.
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 are using Mac OS 9.1 and the 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

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. 
If you are using Mac OS 9.1 and 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, Voice Memo, and Palm™ Photos, Palm Desktop software includes 
System and Install conduits. The System conduit backs up the system information 
stored on your handheld, including Graffiti
® 2 ShortCuts. The Install conduit 
installs add-on applications on your handheld.
