Performing a HotSync Operation via a Modem:
After you prepare your computer and your SPT 1500 terminal, and select your Conduit Setup
options, you are ready to perform a Modem HotSync operation.
To perform a Modem HotSync operation:
1. Turn on your SPT 1500 terminal.
Note: If you are not using a PalmPilot modem, you need a special modem
cable and an external modem. Connect one end of the special modem
cable to the serial connector on the SPT 1500 terminal and the other

2. Tap the icon to open the Applications Launcher.

4. Tap the icon to dial the Palm Desktop modem and synchronize the applications

5. Wait for the HotSync operation to complete. If you have any problems conducting a

software installed and your PC is on and the HotSync Manager is running).
The Network HotSync software is an optional component that you can download from the
Symbol website (http://www.symbol.com/palm). The files that you download also include a
setup program and documentation for this feature.
