HotSync
®
Manager and Technology
The HotSync manager controls the entire HotSync process. It runs in the
background and monitors the communication between your phone and
the desktop computer.
When your phone is placed in the cradle and the HotSync button is
pressed, all data is synchronized on your phone with the desktop
computer.
The applications include:
ᮣ Date Book
ᮣ Address Book
ᮣ To Do List
ᮣ Memo Pad
ᮣ Expense Applications
ᮣ email Applications
Data is synchronized even if the Palm Desktop application is not
running.
Performing Your First HotSync Operation
An initial setup is required on both the desktop computer and your phone
to synchronize the data for the first time. Once the information is
entered, and your phone is recognized, the information is not required
again. The first connection must be completed using a direct connection
with a desktop holder, not a modem.
