between your computer and the organizer cradle, and adjust the
following options as needed.
Serial Port : Identifies the port that HotSync Manager uses to
communicate with the cradle. This selection should match the
number of the port to which you connected the cradle.
Note: Your organizer cannot share this port with an internal
modem or other device. See “Palm VII components” in
Chapter 1 if you have trouble identifying the serial port.
Speed : Determines the speed at which data is transferred be-
tween your organizer and Palm Desktop software. Try the As
Fast As Possible rate first, and adjust downward if you experi-

your organizer to find and use the fastest speed.
