Performing a HotSync with a Palm Device

The process of synchronizing data on the Palm device with data on the host system is known as a "HotSync."

Before synchronizing data, you must configure your Palm device to communicate with the host system.

To perform a HotSync with a Palm Device:

  1. Place the Palm device in its cradle or connect it to its synchronization cable.

Note: See the instructions that came with your Palm device for information on installing the cradle or HotSync cable.

  1. Make certain that the HotSync Manager is running.

By default, HotSync Manager starts automatically when you start your computer, and appears as an icon in your Windows system tray.

  1. Press the HotSync button on the cradle or cable, or tap the HotSync icon on the Palm device.

A HotSync Progress dialog box displays on your computer. Click Cancel to stop the HotSync.

Note: It can take several seconds for the HotSync process to stop.

  1. Remove the Palm device from the cradle or cable when the process is complete.
