Palm 650 - Manual (Page 32)

20 Section 1C: Connecting to Your Computer
Preparing Your Computer
Synchronization allows you to enter information on your computer in an
application called Palm® Desktop software or in Microsoft Outlook and then
efficiently transfer that information to your Sprint PCS Vision
SM Smart Device
Treo™ 650. At the same time, changes you make on the Treo 650 are transferred
to Palm Desktop or to Microsoft Outlook. Even if you manage all your contacts on
your Treo 650, synchronization is a great way to back up your information.
Before you can synchronize, you need to install the desktop synchronization
software on your computer. Even if you already own a Palm Powered™ device and
have installed a previous version, you need to install the Software Installation CD
that comes with your Treo 650.
We strongly recommend that you install the desktop synchronization software
soon after you start using your Treo 650 and that you synchronize your device and
computer frequently to keep your information up-to-date (and backed up) in
both locations.
