28 :: Synchronizing information
Synchronizing information
Synchronizing means that information that is entered or updated in one place (your
phone or your computer) is automatically updated in the other—no need to enter
information twice. We strongly recommend that you synchronize your Treo
smartphone and your computer frequently to keep your information up-to-date (and
backed up) in both locations.
Before you can synchronize your contacts and other personal information, you must
install the software from the CD that came with your Treo smartphone. See “Installing
the desktop synchronization software on your computer” on page 26 for instructions.
If you use the default settings, information from all the following applications is
transferred each time you synchronize your smartphone with your computer:
If you choose to synchronize with Outlook, information from Contacts, Calendar, Tasks,
and Memos is synchronized with Outlook. You can also set up the VersaMail
®
application to synchronize with Outlook. Other info, such as photos, is synchronized
with Palm Desktop software.
1. Connect your Treo 650 smartphone to your computer, as described in “Connecting
your Treo smartphone to your computer” on page 27.
2. Press the Sync button on the sync cable.
We strongly recommend
that you install the desktop
software soon after you
start using your
smartphone, and that you
synchronize your
smartphone and computer
frequently to keep your
information
up-to-date (and backed
up) in both locations.
If you installed
Palm Desktop software, the
HotSync Manager icon
should appear in
the lower-right corner of
your computer screen.
