You can replace your previous Palm OS device and migrate to a Zodiac

console and retain your previous data and applications. If you already own a

Palm OS device, Tapwave recommends that you install your new Zodiac

desktop software into the same folder as your current Palm Desktop software.

All of your data is preserved when you install the new software in the same

folder as the previous software. If you use another desktop organizer

application, such as Microsoft Outlook, you still must install the Zodiac

desktop software CD that came with your new console.

You can perform HotSync operations on your new console in exactly the same

way as you did on your old device, allowing you to quickly synchronize your

existing data with your new console. Just remember to synchronize your old

device with Palm Desktop software before you synchronize with your new

console, so you have the latest information. When you synchronize your new

console for the first time, select the Desktop Overwrites Handheld option for

all the conduits. For more information on conduit settings, see

your previous Palm OS device, you must migrate to the most current desktop.

The method of storing passwords has changed with the latest release of the

desktop. Therefore, you must migrate to synchronize your password-protected

information.

1. Synchronize your old device with your old Palm Desktop software to

ensure that the latest information from your device is on your desktop

computer.

2. (Optional) To prevent data loss, go to the folder that stores Palm Desktop

software, copy the folder and its contents, rename it (for example, Palm

Backup), and store the copy outside the Palm Desktop software folder.
