Setting Up Your Handheld and Your Computer

Step 4: Connecting your handheld to your computer

In this step, you connect your handheld to your computer and synchronize for the first time.
Synchronizing simply means that any information you enter in one place (your handheld or
computer) is automatically updated in the other.

Be sure to synchronize your information at least once a day so that you always

have an up-to-date backup copy of important information.
