running.
• Available Only When Palm Desktop Is Running starts HotSync
Manager and monitors requests automatically when you open Palm
Desktop.

your computer and the pda phone cradle.

connected the PDA phone. Your pda phone cannot share this port with
an internal modem or other devices. See “G18 components” in
Chapter 1 if you have trouble identifying the serial port.
