Using your communicator with Palm Desktop software
Your communicator comes with Palm Desktop software. Palm Desktop software includes many
of the same applications as your communicator: Date Book, Address (the Contacts view in
PhoneBook), To Do List, Memo Pad, Expense, and desktop e-mail connectivity.
The following instructions guide you through installing Palm Desktop software. After installation,
refer to the online Help in Palm Desktop software for information about how to use the software.
Note: You must install the software that comes with your Treo communicator even if you
already installed Palm Desktop software for a previous Palm OS handheld.
To ensure a safe and uninterrupted installation of Palm Desktop software, please do
not
simply
copy the Palm Desktop software files to your computer’s hard disk. You must use the installer to
place the files in their proper locations and to decompress the files.
To install Palm Desktop software:
1. Connect the HotSync cable. See page 23 for instructions.
2. Exit any open programs, including those that run at startup such as Microsoft Office, and
disable any virus-scanning software.
3. Insert the Handspring CD-ROM into the computer’s CD-ROM drive.
4. 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.
5. If the model selection screen appears, click the name of the product you purchased and
follow the onscreen instructions to continue the installation.
6. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation and to configure your Treo for
wireless data communication.
When the set up process is done, the installation screen closes automatically.
Using your communicator with Microsoft Outlook
The software that comes with your Treo communicator includes everything you need to
synchronize your communicator with Microsoft Outlook. If you already have Microsoft Outlook
installed on your computer, the installation program prompts you to choose the Microsoft Outlook
synchronization option.
Using your communicator with another PIM
If you prefer to use another personal information manager (PIM), such as Lotus Notes, you can
use it if third-party connection software, called a conduit, is available for your PIM. You must install
the software that came with your Treo communicator along with the conduit for your PIM to
synchronize the data between your communicator and your PIM. For information on conduit
software, go to this web site: www.handspring.com.
