name. The handheld acquires a unique user name when the new user
performs his or her first local HotSync operation.

For example, suppose a sales organization wants to distribute two
dozen handhelds that all have a common company phone list, a set of
memos, and several key applications. A user profile can be created to
install the common data before the handhelds are distributed to the
employees who will use them. Then when the employees perform
their first HotSync operation, the common data becomes part of their
individual data file.

Note: The handhelds that are synchronized with a user profile must

either be new ones that have never been synchronized or
handhelds that have had their user name and data removed
by a hard reset.

To create a user profile on a Windows computer:

1. Open Palm Desktop software.

2. From the Tools menu, choose Users.

3. Click Profiles.

4. Click New.

5. Enter a unique name for the profile and click OK.

6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each profile that you want to create, and

then click OK to return to Palm Desktop software.
