Using Your Treo 700P Smartphone 256
Synchronization
Synchronization
Synchronization backs up the information from your smartphone onto
your computer and vice versa. If you ever need to perform a hard reset
or otherwise need to erase all your information on your smartphone,
you can synchronize your smartphone with your computer to restore
the info. Similarly, if your computer crashes and your Palm Desktop info
is damaged, you can recover your info by synchronizing with your
smartphone. To make sure you always have an up-to-date backup of
your info, synchronize frequently.
This section describes synchronization between your Treo smartphone
and a desktop computer running Palm Desktop software. You can also
synchronize the information on your smartphone using Wireless Sync
or other third-party applications. See the separate documentation for
Wireless Sync or other applications for information on features and
configuration.
Before you attempt to synchronize, make sure you’ve installed the
desktop synchronization software from the Palm Software Installation
CD.
Tip
Every device needs a
unique name. Never
synchronize more than
one device to the same
device name on your
computer.
