Using File Link

The File Link feature enables you to synchronize the Address Book and Memo Pad
information on your SPT 1700 terminal with a separate external file such as a company
phone list. HotSync Manager stores the data in a separate category on your Symbol Palm
Terminal Desktop and your SPT 1700 terminal. You can configure the File Link feature to
check for changes to the external file when you perform a HotSync operation.
With File Link you can synchronize with data stored in any of the following formats:
• Comma delimited (*.csv)
• Tab delimited (*.tsv)
• Memo Pad archive (*.mpa)
• Address Book archive (*.aba)
• Text (*.txt)
