Palm offers the Data Transfer Assistant to do this one-time data transfer. Use of the Data
Transfer Assistant is a three-step process:
1. Download the Data Transfer Assistant from palm.com/support
to your computer.
2. Connect your phone and your computer using the USB cable, and open and run the
Data Transfer Assistant on your computer.
3. On your phone, select where you want your transferred data to be imported:
To an online account: You can assign the transferred data to be imported to one of
your online accounts, such as Google or Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.
To your phone: Transferred data that is imported to your phone is backed up to your
Palm profile, so you have a copy of it. But you can change this data in one place
only: your phone. The data is not accessible from any online account.
For detailed information about transferring data, download and open the Data Transfer
Assistant, and then click Help.
Turn the Phone On/Off
The screen and the wireless services—phone, Bluetooth
®
wireless technology, and Wi-Fi—of
your phone can be turned off and on separately. This means you can wake up the screen to
use just the organizer features of your device (Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Memos, and so on)
without turning on the phone and other wireless features. Also, when the screen is turned off,
the phone can be on and ready for you to receive phone calls or messages.
Did You Know?
Synchronization with online accounts is scheduled to happen frequently—
every 15 minutes of more often. Backup of data to your Palm profile is
scheduled to happen once daily.
Tip
You can also use a third-party application to set up synchronization with
some desktop organizers.
