Connecting The Hotsync Cradle - IBM WorkPad Workpad Handbook

Install the Palm Desktop software for IBM WorkPad that comes
with your WorkPad PC companion. See "Installing Palm Desktop
software for IBM WorkPad" later in this chapter for details.
Perform a HotSync operation. See "Exchanging and updating data:
HotSync operations" in Chapter 5 for details, or refer to Getting
Started with the WorkPad PC Companion.
(If upgrading) Rename your old PC companion. To prevent
unexpected results during HotSync operations, each PC
companion must have a unique name. We recommend that you
perform a hard reset on your old PC companion. See "Performing
a hard reset" in Appendix A for details.

Connecting the HotSync cradle

Important: The HotSync cradle supplied with your PC companion
fits a USB connector. If your computer does not have a
USB port, or if you are using Windows 95 or Windows
NT, you can order a serial cradle and a 25-pin serial
adapter, if necessary, from
the documentation that accompanies the serial cradle
before attempting to complete the installation tasks.
1. Shut down and turn off your computer.
2. Plug the USB connector into a USB port on your computer.
3. Connect the power cord that attaches to the back of the cradle's
USB port connector to the AC adapter cord.
