and time and that these settings are used by all the applications on your handheld. 
The primary Location settings also appear in the Date & Time Preferences screen. 
Similarly, if you change the settings in the Date & Time Preferences screen, those 
settings become your system date and time and also appear under the primary 
location in World Clock. The primary Location settings also serve as a point of 
reference for the secondary locations.
To set the primary location:
1.Tap the primary location pick list.
2.Select the location you want to use as the primary location. 
The location you select is typically a large city in the same time zone as the one 
where you live. If an appropriate choice does not appear in the list, see “Adding 
a location” later in this chapter to create a new location.

CHAPTER 15
Performing HotSync
®
 Operations
HotSync® technology enables you to synchronize data between a Palm OS® 
handheld and Palm™ Desktop software or another personal information manager 
(PIM) such as Microsoft Outlook, as well as to install add-on applications. 
Conducting HotSync operations
The simplest way to synchronize data is to perform a direct HotSync operation by 
attaching your handheld to the cable, turning your handheld on, and tapping the 
Star icon.
Performing a HotSync operation: Windows computers
When you set up your handheld for the first time, you perform an initial HotSync 
operation. See“Step 5: Perform a HotSync operation” in Chapter 1 for details. As 
part of this initial HotSync operation, you need to enter user information on Palm 
Desktop software. After you enter this information and synchronize with your 
handheld, HotSync Manager recognizes your handheld and doesn’t ask for this 
information again.
NOTEBefore you perform an initial HotSync operation, you must install Palm 
Desktop software. If you have not installed this software, see“Step 3: Install 
software” in Chapter 1 for instructions.
If you are a system administrator preparing several handhelds for a group of users, 
you may want to create a user profile. See “Creating a user profile” later in this 
chapter before performing the following steps. 
						

							Chapter 15 Performing HotSync® Operations
220
To perform a HotSync operation on a Windows computer:
1.Plug the HotSync cable into the port on the bottom of your handheld.
2.If HotSync Manager is not running, start it: 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 HotSync Manager. 
3.Turn on your handheld.
4.Tap the Star icon  on the Home screen.
