Connecting The Cradle; Installing Palm Desktop Software - 3Com III Handbook

Connecting the Cradle

The cradle that comes with your Palm III organizer enables you to
synchronize the information on your Palm III organizer and the Palm
Desktop software using HotSync
To connect the cradle:
Turn off your computer and plug the cable from the Palm III
organizer cradle into the serial communications port on your
computer.
Note: Your Palm III organizer requires a dedicated port. It cannot
share a port with an internal modem or other device. If you are
unsure about the exact location of the serial port on your
computer, refer to the user's manual supplied with the
computer.

Installing Palm Desktop Software

Palm Desktop organizer software extends many of the functions of
your Palm III organizer to your computer. Although using Palm
Desktop software is optional, when you use it with your Palm III
organizer and the built-in HotSync technology, you can fully
synchronize the information on your Palm III organizer with the
information on your computer. Changes you make on your Palm III
organizer or Palm Desktop appear in both places after you
synchronize.
With Palm Desktop software you can:
Work with your Palm III organizer applications on your
computer. Palm Desktop duplicates the Date Book, Address Book,
To Do List and Memo Pad applications on your Palm III organizer,
so you can view, enter and modify any data stored on your Palm
III organizer.
