I did a HotSync 
operation, but one of my 
applications did not 
synchronize.
Click the HotSync Manager and choose Custom. Make sure that 
the conduit appears on the list and that it is set to Synchronize the 
files. See page 195 for details.

Check the following on your computer:
■
Make sure your computer is turned on and that it does not shut 
down automatically as part of an energy-saving feature.
■
Make sure the modem connected to your computer is turned on 
and is connected to the outgoing phone line. 
■
Make sure Modem is checked in the HotSync Manager menu.
■
Make sure the modem you are using with your communicator 
has an on-off switch. Your communicator cannot “wake up” a 
modem that has an auto-off feature.
■
Make sure the modem is connected properly to a serial port on 
your computer and is connected to the incoming phone line.
■
Confirm that the Setup String in the Setup dialog box 
configures your modem correctly. You may need to select a 
different Modem Type or enter a custom Setup String. Most 
modems have a Setup String that causes them to send initial 
connection sounds to a speaker. You can use these sounds to 
check the modem connection.
■
Confirm that the Speed setting in the Setup dialog box works 
for your modem.
■
If you have problems using the As Fast As Possible option or a 
specific speed, try using a slower speed.
■
Make sure you are not running another program, such as 
WinFax, CompuServe, or America Online, that uses the serial 
port you selected in the Setup dialog box.
■
Make sure your modem resets before you try again. (Turn off 
your modem, wait a minute, then turn it back on.)
