Synchronizing Data with Your Computer 25
Synchronizing Data
with Your Computer
You can use the Palm Desktop software and your HotSync cable to
exchange data between your handheld and your computer. This process is
called a HotSync operation. Each time you perform a HotSync operation,
any information you entered or changed on your handheld is copied to your
computer and vice versa. This backs up your data and is strongly advised.
Before you perform a HotSync operation, you need to install the Palm
Desktop software from the Handspring CD and connect the HotSync cable
to your computer. You can connect the USB cable that comes with your
handheld, or you can purchase a serial cable at www.handspring.com. See
“Computer system requirements” below.
