Performing a network HotSync operation

After you prepare your computer and your handheld and select your Conduit
Setup options, you are ready to perform a network HotSync operation.

To perform a network HotSync operation:

Tap the modem HotSync icon to begin the operation.

Using File Link

The File Link feature enables you to import Address Book and Memo Pad
information onto your handheld from a separate external file such as a company
phone list. HotSync Manager stores the data in a separate category on your Palm
Desktop software and on your handheld. You can configure the File Link feature
to check for changes to the external file when you perform a HotSync operation.

With File Link you can import data stored in any of the following formats:

Comma-separated (*.csv)

Memo Pad archive (*.mpa)

Address Book archive (*.aba)

Text (*.txt)

For information on how to set up a file link, see the Palm Desktop online Help.

NOTE

The File Link feature is not available in Palm Desktop software for Mac.
