Conducting a HotSync operation via a network
When you use the Network HotSync software, you can take advantage of 
the Local Area Network (LAN) connectivity available in many office 
environments. The Network HotSync software enables you to perform a 
HotSync operation by using a cable that is connected to any computer on 
your LAN (provided that the computer connected to the cable also has the 
Network HotSync software installed, your computer is on, and the 
HotSync Manager is running).

Click the HotSync Manager icon   in the Windows system tray 
(bottom-right corner of the taskbar).

company phone list. HotSync Manager stores the data in a separate 
category on your Palm Desktop software and your phone. You can 
configure the File Link feature to check for changes to the external file 
when you perform a HotSync operation.

their actual users, you can create a user profile to load the data into a

Caring for your phone
Your phone is designed to be rugged and reliable and to provide years of 
trouble-free service. Please observe the following general tips when using 
your phone:
©Take care not to scratch the screen of your phone. Keep the screen 
clean. When working with your phone, use the supplied stylus or 
plastic-tipped pens intended for use with a touch-sensitive screen. 
Never use an actual pen or pencil or other sharp object on the 
surface of the phone screen.
©Your phone is not waterproof and should not be exposed to rain or 
moisture. Under extreme conditions, water may enter the circuitry 
through the front panel buttons. In general, treat your phone as you 
would a pocket calculator or other small electronic instrument.
©The touch-sensitive screen of your phone contains a glass element. 
Take care not to drop your phone or subject it to any strong impact. 
Do not carry your phone in your back pocket: if you sit on it, the 
glass may break.
©Protect your phone from temperature extremes. Do not leave your 
phone on the dashboard of a car on a hot day, and keep it away from 
heaters and other heat sources.
©Do not store or use your phone in any location that is extremely 
dusty, damp, or wet.
©Use a soft, damp cloth to clean your phone. If the surface of the 
phone screen becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth moistened 
with a diluted window-cleaning solution.
Battery considerations
Please note the following considerations when using the rechargeable 
battery in your phone:
©When wireless mode is on, your phone battery should provide 150 
hours of stand-by time, or 2.5 hours of talk time between charges. 
When you use your phone in handheld mode and wireless mode is 
off, your phone battery provides approximately one week of use 
between charges.
