BEFORE YOU BEGIN

To sync your info,

you must install Palm Desktop software
from the Getting Started CD that came
with your Centro—even if you sync with
Outlook or another third-party application.
See Installing the desktop synchronization
software
for instructions.

1 Connect your Centro to your computer,

as described in Connecting your Centro
to your computer.

2 Press the sync button on the sync

cable.

Messages on both your computer and
your Centro indicate that
synchronization is in progress.

3 Wait until you see the message on your

Centro that the HotSync operation is
complete; then disconnect the sync
cable. Do not disconnect the sync cable
until you see this message.
