Performing A Hotsync Operation For The First Time - 3Com III Handbook

Performing a HotSync Operation for the First Time

The first time you synchronize your data, you need to enter user
information on both the Palm III organizer and the Palm Desktop.
Once you enter this information and synchronize, the HotSync
Manager recognizes your Palm III organizer and doesn't ask for this
information again. If you are a System Administrator preparing
several 3Com connected organizers for a group of users, see "Creating
a User Profile" later in this chapter before performing the following
steps.
Important: You must perform your first HotSync operation with a
local, direct connection, rather than using a modem.
To perform a HotSync operation for the first time:
1. Double-click the Palm Desktop icon on the Windows desktop (or
select Palm Desktop from the Start menu) to start the Palm
Desktop software.
2. Click the
HotSync Manager menu.
Tip: The Windows System Tray is usually in the lower-right
corner on your computer display. The location may vary
depending on the location of the taskbar and the version
of Windows you are using.
3. Click Local from the HotSync Manager menu to indicate that you
are using the cradle to synchronize.
4. Turn on the Palm III organizer and slide it into the cradle.
