Setting up your computer
Synchronization lets you enter information on your computer (using Palm
®
Desktop
software or Microsoft Outlook for Windows) and then efficiently transfer that info to
your Treo 650 smartphone. At the same time, changes you make on your smartphone
are transferred to Palm Desktop or Microsoft Outlook. Even if you manage all your
contacts on your smartphone, synchronization is a great way to back up your info.
Before you can synchronize, you need to install the desktop synchronization
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 came with your
Treo smartphone on the palmOne Software Installation CD.
