Setting up your handheld
1. Press the power button to turn on your handheld.
2. Follow the instructions on the screen to set up your handheld.
Important: For users outside the United States, choose the same
language for your handheld and Palm Desktop software.
Choosing a language that does not match the Palm
Desktop software is not recommended or supported, and
may result in data loss. If you need to reselect a language
on your handheld, you must perform a hard reset.
3. After you complete the set up steps, tap Next to complete the Basic
Skills tutorial.
Tip: To access the Basic Skills tutorial later, tap the Welcome
icon in the Applications Launcher.
Installing Palm Desktop software
Palm Desktop software includes the same applications as your
handheld: Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, Note Pad, and Memo
Pad. You can use the HotSync Manager to backup and exchange data
between your handheld and your computer.
If you are upgrading, you may want to create a copy of your old Palm
Desktop software folder and its contents before installing your new
Palm Desktop software. This is optional. If you do this, rename the
copied folder (for example, Palm Old), and store it outside the Palm
Desktop software folder.
Note: If you are using Microsoft Outlook or other organizer software
instead of Palm Desktop software, you still need to complete
this process to install HotSync Manager, conduit software, and
other features of Palm Desktop software.
