Setting Up Your Organizer And Charging The Transmitter; Upgrade Information - Palm VII Handbook

When you replace the AAA batteries, keep these points in mind:
Before you replace the batteries, perform a HotSync operation so
that you have a backup copy of all your data on your computer.
When you remove the old batteries, the built-in backup power of
your organizer maintains memory data. Whenever you remove
the batteries, replace them immediately. We recommend replacing
batteries within a period of one minute. If you encounter any
difficulties or delays while you're replacing the batteries, reinstall
the original batteries and wait a few minutes for the backup power
to recharge.
When you dispose of the AAA batteries, please dispose of them
without damaging the environment.
Setting up your organizer
and charging the transmitter
The first time you insert the AAA batteries, your organizer
automatically begins two processes:
The batteries begin to charge the transmitter you use with the
wireless communication service. This takes about 70 minutes. As
soon as the transmitter has been charged, you can activate the
service. See "Activating the Palm.Net wireless communication
service" later in this chapter.
Your organizer turns on automatically and Setup begins. Setup
consists of a short series of screens that you complete to prepare
your organizer for use. Setup also lists the query applications that
are preloaded on your organizer. To complete Setup, follow the
instructions onscreen.
As soon as you finish Setup, you can use all the basic applications of
your organizer. See Chapter 4 for the list of your basic applications.

Upgrade information

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.
If you use another personal information manager (PIM), you still need
to install Palm Desktop software in order to add HotSync Manager,
