I am using
Outlook as my
PIM, but I cannot

operation. ■ Click the HotSync Manager and choose
Custom. Check that the correct conduit is
active.

operation, but it
did not complete
successfully. ■ Make sure your handheld is seated onto the
HotSync cradle/cable correctly.
■ Check the connection between the HotSync
cradle/cable and the serial port or USB port
on your computer.

clean them.

for which you are performing a HotSync
operation.
■ Tap the HotSync icon in the Applications

■ Make sure the user name you selected in
Palm Desktop software matches the user
name assigned to your handheld.

matches the date on your handheld.

software. See “Customizing HotSync
application settings” in Chapter 5 for
