Transfer data from an existing HP webOS
Account
When setting up your device, you can choose to sign in to an existing HP
webOS Account that you may already be using with a webOS
smartphone (see What is an HP webOS Account?). If you decide to sign
in to an existing account, you can choose to do a one-time transfer of the
data stored in the existing HP webOS Account to your device.
NOTE If you use the same HP webOS Account with two devices, after the
one-time data transfer, info you enter into the HP webOS Account on one device
is not synchronized between the devices. You need to enter the info in both
places.
