To ensure a safe and uninterrupted installation of Palm Desktop
software, do the following before installing:
• Turn off your computer and connect the cradle to it. Do not
place your Smartphone in the cradle until instructed.
• If you are installing from floppy disks (rather than the CD
included in the box), make sure that the original Palm Desktop
software disks are write-protected, and then make backup
copies of them. When you have finished, use the copies to
install the software, and store the original disks in a safe
place. Refer to your computer’s manual or operating system
documentation for information on locking or copying diskettes.
• Do not 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:
• Exit any open programs, including those that run at startup
such as Microsoft Office, and disable any virus-scanning
software.
• Insert the Palm Desktop software CD into the computer’s CD-
ROM drive (or insert the Setup disk into the floppy disk drive).
• When the Palm Desktop software Installer Menu screen
appears, click the Install button to begin the installation
procedure.
• Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation.
When prompted, insert your Smartphone into the cradle.
