Preparing Your Computer

Synchronization allows you to enter information on your computer in an
® ®
application called Palm Desktop or in Microsoft Outlook and then efficiently
transfer that information to your Treo. At the same time, changes you make on the
Treo are transferred to Palm Desktop software or to Microsoft Outlook. Even if
you manage all your contacts on your Treo, synchronization is a great way to back
up your data.
Before you can synchronize, you need to install the Palm Desktop synchronization
software on your computer. Even if you already own a Palm Powered device and
have installed a previous version of the Palm Desktop software, install the
software that comes on the CD with your Treo.
We strongly recommend that you install the Palm Desktop synchronization
software soon after you start using your Treo and that you synchronize your Treo
and computer frequently to keep your information up-to-date (and backed up) in
both locations.
