Setting up your computer
Synchronization lets you enter information on your computer (using Palm
®
Desktop or
Microsoft Outlook for Windows) and then efficiently transfer that information to your
Treo. At the same time, changes you make on your Treo are transferred to Palm Desktop
or Microsoft Outlook. Even if you manage all your contacts on your Treo, synchronization
is a great way to back up your data.
Before you can synchronize, you need to install Palm Desktop software on your
computer. Even if you already own a Palm Powered™ device and have installed a
previous version, you must install the software that comes with your Treo.
