Synchronizing Contacts And Other Information - palmOne Treo 650 Using Instructions

Synchronizing contacts and
other information
Synchronizing means that information that is entered or updated in one place
(your phone or your computer) is automatically updated in the other—no need to
enter information twice. We strongly recommend that you synchronize your Treo
smartphone with your computer or corporate server frequently to keep your
information up-to-date (and backed up) in both locations.
Applications used to synchronize your information
You can synchronize the information on your Treo using the Palm Desktop software,
Wireless Sync, or other, third party applications. This chapter describes
synchronization between your Treo smartphone and a desktop computer. See the
separate documentation for other Wireless Sync or other applications for information
on features and configuration.
Synchronizing with the Palm Desktop software
Before you can synchronize your contacts and other personal information, you
must install the Palm Desktop software from the CD that came with your Treo
smartphone. See "Installing the desktop synchronization software on your computer"
on page 32 for instructions.
If you use the default settings, information from all the following applications is
transferred each time you synchronize your phone with your computer:

We strongly recommend
that you install the
synchronization software
soon after you start using
your smartphone, and that
you synchronize your Treo
smartphone and computer
frequently to keep your
information
up-to-date (and backed up)
in both locations.
If you installed
Palm Desktop software,
the HotSync Manager icon
should appear in
the lower-right corner of
your computer screen.
