infrared devices. Consult the documentation for your operating system for information about
turning off this option.

Move your handheld away from the computer's infrared port.
I want to synchronize my computer with more than one handheld.
If the computer running Palm Desktop software synchronizes with more than one handheld, each
handheld should have a unique name. Synchronizing more than one handheld with the same
username causes unpredictable results and, potentially, loss of your personal information. Assign
a username to your handheld the first time you synchronize.
If you are synchronizing with Outlook, make sure the right profile is selected for the applications
you want to synchronize in HotSync Manager. From the Palm Desktop home screen, click the
HotSync Manager, and then select Custom.
