Customising HotSync application settings
For each application, you can define a set of options that determines how records are
handled during synchronisation. These options are called a "conduit". By default, a
HotSync operation synchronises all files between your handheld and Palm Desktop
software.
In general, you should leave the settings to synchronise all files. The only reason you
might want to change these settings is to overwrite data on either your handheld or
Palm Desktop software, or to avoid synchronising a particular type of file because you
don’t use it.
In addition to the conduits for Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, and Memo Pad,
Palm Desktop software includes System and Install conduits.
The System conduit backs up the system information stored on your handheld,
including Graffiti
®
ShortCuts.
The Install conduit installs applications on your handheld.
To customise HotSync application settings
1 Click the HotSync Manager icon in the Windows system tray.
2 From the HotSync Manager menu, choose Custom.
Speed Determines the speed at which data is transferred between your
handheld and Palm Desktop software.
Try the As Fast As Possible rate first, and adjust downward if you
experience problems. This setting allows Palm Desktop and your
handheld to find and use the fastest speed.
