5. Connect the USB cable to the bottom of your smartphone to run setup. (The Setup
window may take a minute or so to open on your computer.)
6. On your computer, select Install sync software on your PC and follow the installation
instructions that appear on both your computer and your device. (If prompted on a
Windows Vista computer, click Continue.)
7. Click Sync your PC and Treo, or disconnect your Treo Pro smartphone from your
computer and synchronize later by simply reconnecting them (see “Synchronizing With
a USB Connection” on page 48).
Switching Between Sync Mode and Setup Mode
After setup is complete and you synchronize for the first time, the connection switches from
Setup Mode to Sync Mode. In Sync Mode, your device synchronizes with your computer every
time you connect them using the USB cable, provided that you have the current version of the
desktop sync software installed on your computer. The connection stays in Sync Mode unless
you manually switch it to Setup Mode. For example, if at some point after initial setup you
decide to download the User Guide, you need to switch to Setup Mode. Or if you didn’t install
the desktop sync software, or you want to install it on another computer, you use Setup Mode
to do it.
1. Press Start and select Programs.
2. Select PC Setup , and then select Set up my PC.
Tip
For best performance, plug your USB cable directly into a USB port on your
computer. If your computer has USB ports on both the front and back, we
suggest using the back port. If you use a USB hub, make sure it is a
powered hub.
Important
Even if you are in Sync Mode, synchronization cannot take place unless
you have the desktop sync software installed on your computer. If you did
not install the software during initial setup but you want to synchronize,
switch to
Setup Mode so that you can install the software.
