Advanced HotSync ® Operations
HotSync ® Manager enables you to synchronize data between one or more Palm OS ® devices and
Palm™ Desktop software. To synchronize data, you must connect your Treo™ 90 handheld and
your desktop software either directly, by connecting your handheld to the HotSync cable attached
to your computer or using infrared communication, or indirectly, with using an optional modem.
This chapter describes how to select HotSync options and perform a HotSync operation via the
infrared port, an optional modem, or a network. See page 72 for information about performing
your first and subsequent local HotSync operations.
