Synchronizing Your Handheld with Your Computer

Why synchronize information?

Quickly enter and update information on your computer and handheld. Synchronizing updates
information both on your handheld and in Palm
example, you can quickly enter a contact list on your computer and then send it to your handheld
instead of reentering the information.
I
Install applications. With just a few clicks, you can install certain programs on your handheld.
Protect your information. Nothing is worse than losing important information. When you
synchronize information, you create a backup copy. If something happens to your handheld or
your computer, the information is not lost; one tap restores it in both places. For example, use
your computer to quickly create dozens of contacts and then synchronize to transfer them to your
handheld.

IMPORTANT
Be sure to synchronize information at least once a day so that you always have
an up-to-date backup copy of important information.
