283 CHAPTER 20 Performing HotSync ® Operations HotSync® technology enables you to synchronize data between one or more Palm OS ® handhelds and Palm™ Desktop software or another PIM such as Microsoft Outlook. To synchronize data, you must connect your handheld and Palm Desktop software. You can synchronize your data either directly or indirectly. Direct methods include placing your handheld in the cradle/cable attached to your computer, or using infrared communications. An indirect method is using a modem or network HotSync technology. Selecting HotSync setup options You can choose when you want HotSync Manager to 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. 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.

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. See “Conducting HotSync operations using an attached modem” later in this chapter for more information. 6.If you are attached to a network, click the Network tab to display the network settings and adjust the options as needed.

Customizing HotSync application settings 285 To set the HotSync options on a Mac: 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.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, and Note Pad, Palm Desktop software includes System and Install conduits, as well as conduits for the VersaMail TM application. The System conduit backs up the system information stored on your handheld, including ShortCuts. The Install conduit installs add-on applications on your handheld. The conduit for the VersaMail application enables you to select e-mail accounts to synchronize. The VersaMail application is optional and is not installed on all handhelds.
