with the cradle. The Palm Desktop installation software
automatically detects the port to which you connected the
cradle. If necessary, you can change the port selection.
Your handheld cannot share this port with an internal modem
or other device.
Speed
Determines the speed at which data is transferred between
your handheld and Palm Desktop software. Try the As Fast As
Possible rate first, and adjust downward if you experience
problems. This setting allows Palm Desktop software and your
handheld to find and use the fastest speed.
