Purging records
If outdated records of Date Book or To Do List take up memory on your
CLIÉ handheld, it’s a good idea to remove them by using Purge. If you think

manually.

purged.

6Tap OK.
If you chose to save a copy of the purged records, your CLIÉ handheld
transfers them to an archive file on your computer the next time you
perform a HotSync
® operation.

What is a HotSync® operation?
A HotSync® operation is a one-step operation that allows you to
synchronize data between your CLIÉ handheld and your computer. With
just one press on the HotSync button, you can synchronize your CLIÉ
handheld application data with the Palm
™ Desktop for CLIÉ software data
on your computer, back up the data of your CLIÉ handheld on your
computer, or install add-on applications.
1Synchronize the Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, and Memo Pad
data on your CLIÉ handheld and your computer. The Palm Desktop for
CLIÉ software can manage the data of multiple CLIÉ handhelds
independently.
2Back up the data stored on your CLIÉ handheld onto your computer.
Synchronization ensures that your data is always safe and up-to-date. In
case you need to perform a hard reset, a HotSync operation allows you to
restore the data.
3Import the data from your computer, or install add-on applications onto
your CLIÉ handheld.
