Synchronizing Information—The Basics
Synchronizing means that information that is entered or updated in one place (your device
or your computer) is automatically updated in the other, so there’s no need to enter the
information twice. We strongly recommend that you synchronize your Treo™ 755
P Smart
Device by Palm with your computer or corporate server frequently to keep your information
up-to-date (and backed up) in both locations.
Information from all the following applications is updated by default each time you
synchronize your device with your desktop software:
Important:
Windows XP users: To sync your information, you must install the
software from the Palm Software Installation CD that came with your
device—even if you sync with Outlook (sold separately) or another
third-party application. See the User Guide for information.
Windows Vista users: Before inserting the Palm Software Installation CD,
please visit www.palm.com/windowsvista. You’ll find installation
instructions, along with the most current information on using your
device and desktop software with Windows Vista.
Tip:
You can also set up the VersaMail
®
application to synchronize email on
your device with email on your computer. See the User Guide for the
VersaMail Application at www.palm.com/mypalm/755psprint for
information.
