BEFORE YOU BEGIN

To sync your info,

you must install Palm Desktop software
from the Palm Software Installation CD
that came with your Treo 680—even if you
sync with Outlook or another third-party
application. See Installing the desktop
synchronization software for instructions.

1 Connect your Treo 680 to your

computer, as described in Connecting
your Treo 680 to your computer.

2 Press the sync button on the sync

cable.

Messages on both your computer and
your Treo 680 indicate that
synchronization is in progress.

3 Wait until you see the message on your

Treo 680 that the HotSync operation is
complete; then disconnect the sync
cable. Do not disconnect the sync cable
until you see this message.

If you’re finishing your initial setup, you
now have the option to install bonus
software from the Palm Software
Installation CD. If you choose to install
some of the bonus software, you need to
sync again to install the software on your
Treo 680. You can also install bonus
software later; see Installing bonus
software from the CD.
