computer.

to synchronize the data for the first time. Once the information is

Manual - You must launch the HotSync manager from the program 
menu.
4.Click OK to exit.
Customizing the HotSync® Operation
For each application, you can define a set of options that determines how 
records are handled during the HotSync operation. These options are 
called a “conduit.” By default, a HotSync operation synchronizes all files 
between your phone and Palm Desktop software. In general, you should 
leave the settings to synchronize all files. The only reason to change these 
settings is to overwrite data on either your phone or Palm Desktop 
software, or to avoid synchronizing a particular type of file.
In addition to the conduits for Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, 
Memo Pad, and Expense, Palm Desktop software includes System and 
Install conduits. The System conduit backs up the system information 
stored on your phone, including Graffiti Shortcuts. The Install conduit 
installs applications on your phone.
Customizing Settings
1.
Click the HotSync Manager icon in the Windows task bar to open the 
HotSync Manager.
2.From the HotSync Manager menu, click Custom.

operation by dialing in to a network or by using a cradle that is 
connected to any computer on your LAN or WAN (provided that the 
computer connected to the cradle also has the Network HotSync software 
installed, your computer is on, and the HotSync Manager is running). 
The Network HotSync software requires the following:
