What is a HotSync
®
operation?
A HotSync ® operation is a one-step operation that allows you to
synchronize data between your CLIÉ handheld and your computer. With
just one press on the HotSync button, you can synchronize your CLIÉ
handheld application data with the Palm
™ Desktop for CLIÉ software data
on your computer, back up the data of your CLIÉ handheld on your
computer, or install add-on applications.
1 Synchronize the Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, and Memo Pad
data on your CLIÉ handheld and your computer. The Palm Desktop for
CLIÉ software can manage the data of multiple CLIÉ handhelds
independently.
2 Back up the data stored on your CLIÉ handheld onto your computer.
Synchronization ensures that your data is always safe and up-to-date. In
case you need to perform a hard reset, a HotSync operation allows you to
restore the data.
3 Import the data on your computer or install add-on applications onto
your CLIÉ handheld.
