To use HotSync for the first time:
1. If HotSync Manager is not running, launch it.
2. If you are using PalmPilot Desktop version 1.0 (for Windows
3.1x only), make sure that Local is selected in the HotSync
menu, as shown below:
Version 1.0 for
Windows 3.1x
Version 2.0 for
Windows 95
Windows NT 4.0
For PalmPilot Desktop version 2.0 (Windows 95 and Windows
NT 4.0), choose Local from the HotSync Manager in the System
Tray. Selecting Local tells the PalmPilot Desktop to use the
Cradle for synchronization.

4. Press the HotSync button on the front of the PalmPilot Cradle.
HotSync begins. The HotSync process saves all data before
transferring any information. During the course of the first
HotSync, you will be asked for the user name that will
correspond to the PalmPilot.
Important: Every PalmPilot should have a unique name. Never
try to synchronize more than one PalmPilot to the same user
name.
