Page 18: Setting Up Your Organizer And Charging The Transmitter
If you already own a PalmPilot™ organizer or Palm III™ organizer, 3Com recommends that you install the version of Palm Desktop software that comes with your new Palm VII organizer into the same folder as your current Palm Desktop software. When you install the new version in the same folder as the previous version, all your data is preserved.
Page 19 Palm Desktop software to your computer. You perform HotSync operations in exactly the same way, so you can quickly synchronize your old data with your new organizer. To upgrade: 1. Read the Getting Started guide for an overview of the complete installation process.
Page 20: Palm Desktop Organizer Software
It is a good idea to back up your data in case something happens to the data on your organizer. Changes you make on your organizer or Palm Desktop software appear in both places after you synchronize.
Page 21 Installing Palm Desktop software The following instructions guide you through installing Palm Desktop software. After installation, refer to the online Help in Palm Desktop software for information about how to use the software. To ensure a safe and uninterrupted installation of Palm Desktop software, please do the following before installing: Turn off your computer and connect the cradle to it.
Page 22: Using Your Organizer With Another Pim
Using your organizer with another PIM If you prefer to use another personal information manager (PIM), such as Microsoft Outlook, you still need to install Palm Desktop software in order to add HotSync Manager, connection software, and other features of Palm Desktop software to your computer. The connection software, called a conduit, lets you synchronize the data between your organizer and your PIM.
Page 23 “Wireless problems” in Appendix B for tips on eliminating obstacles to the signal. To activate the Palm.Net service: 1. Read the brochure, Choosing a Palm.Net Service Plan, included in the organizer package, describing the monthly service plans. Decide on a plan. (You can switch plans at any time.) 2.

Application Your organizer is a wireless device Your Palm VII™ organizer is equipped with an internal transmitter and an antenna. These components enable your organizer, like a cellular phone, to use a radio frequency to transmit and receive information over the airwaves.
Page 130 These “sites” are called query applications. They were created by third- party developers, but you open them and use them just as you would a basic Palm VII application like Address Book. Query applications give you access to a wide spectrum of practical Internet information.
Page 131 So when you’re near a desktop computer and have some time, you can take advantage of the elaborate graphics, variety, and many choices offered by a web site — But when you’re in a car or on the street and need information fast, a query application on your organizer makes it easy to find the specific information you need —...

Your organizer is part of the Palm.Net network. This network receives and stores messages sent to you at your Palm.Net address, and it delivers any message you send directly from your organizer to the Internet e-mail address you specify.
Page 133 The Internet is often described as a “network of networks,” and the Palm.Net network is just another network tied into the Internet. The advantage of the Palm.Net network is that your organizer has a wireless, over-the-air connection to it.

Page 179: Adding Details To E-Mail Items
Tap here to enter address in field Adding details to e-mail items Before you send your e-mail item, you can attach additional attributes to it, such as a signature or a priority level. These features are dependent on the desktop E-Mail application you use. If your application does not support the attribute you select, your organizer cannot attach that attribute to the e-mail item.

Page 186: Purging Deleted E-Mail
Purging deleted e-mail Because your organizer stores deleted e-mail in the Deleted folder until you perform a HotSync operation, deleted e-mail can monopolize storage space. To avoid or correct this problem, purge the contents of your Deleted folder. E-mail that you purge is still deleted from your desktop E-Mail application when you perform the next HotSync operation.
