To perform a local HotSync operation
1 Insert your handheld into the cradle.
2 If the HotSync Manager is not running (i.e., the HotSync Manager icon is not visible
in the bottom right corner of the Windows system tray) start it:
• In the Windows taskbar, click the Start button then highlight Programs.
• Navigate to the Palm Desktop program group and choose HotSync Manager.
Alternatively, you can start the Palm Desktop software which automatically
opens the HotSync Manager.
3 Press the HotSync button on the cradle.
.
NOTE: If you are using an optional USB or Serial Sync Cable instead of a cradle, click the
HotSync Manager icon in the bottom right corner of the Windows system tray, then select
Local from the menu.
4 Enter your user name in the New User dialog box and click OK.
The HotSync Progress dialog box appears and synchronization begins.
IMPORTANT: Every handheld should have a unique name. To prevent loss of user’s records,
never try to synchronise more than one handheld to the same user name.
