Operations
HotSync
®
Manager enables you to synchronize data between one or more Palm OS
®
devices and
Palm™ Desktop software. To synchronize data, you must connect your Treo™ 270 communicator
and your desktop software either directly, by connecting your communicator to the HotSync cable
attached to your computer or using infrared communication, or indirectly, with using the built-in
wireless modem.
This chapter describes how to select HotSync options and perform a HotSync operation via the
infrared port, the built-in wireless modem, or a network. See page 74 for information about
performing your first and subsequent local HotSync operations.
