Upgrading from a Palm OS handheld
1. Synchronize your old handheld with your old desktop software.
Tip: For best results, review the detailed steps in the Upgrade Information section
in the electronic
User Guide
.
2. Under your Palm or Handspring folder, locate your User Name folder and store a copy
of it in a safe place.
3. Install your new desktop and synchronization software from your Handspring CD and
put it in the same location as your old desktop software.
Note: Installing the new desktop software is strongly recommended to ensure that
you have the latest synchronization software.
4. Synchronize your new Treo with your new desktop software, and select the user name
for your old handheld when prompted.
5. If any third party applications or data did not get installed, beam them from your old
handheld to your Treo.
6. After you upgrade you have two devices with the same user name. Since each device
must have a unique name, perform a hard reset (see page 33) on your old handheld to
remove the user name and avoid problems synchronizing with that device. The next
time you synchronize that device, be sure to assign it a new name.
Installing the desktop software
1. Insert the Handspring CD in the CD-ROM drive on your computer.
2. If you’re using a Macintosh, double-click the Handspring CD icon on the desktop, and
then double-click the Installer icon.
3. If the language selection screen appears, click the same language you selected on your
communicator. Choosing a different language may result in loss of data.
4. If the model selection screen appears, click the name of the product you purchased and
follow the onscreen instructions to continue the installation.
5. When the wireless data access screen appears, follow the onscreen instructions to
configure your Treo for wireless data communications.
When the set up process is done, the installation screen closes automatically.
