Page 9 Introduction to Your Palm™ m100 Handheld
Palm Desktop organizer software
Palm Desktop software extends many of the functions of your
handheld to your computer and serves to back up your data. Viewing
and editing your data using Palm Desktop software is optional.
However, when you use it with your handheld and the built-in
HotSync technology, you can fully synchronize the information on
your handheld with the information on your computer.
It is a good idea to back up your data in case something happens to the
data on your handheld. Changes you make on your handheld or Palm
Desktop software appear in both places after you synchronize.
With Palm Desktop software, you can do
the following:
Work with your handheld applications on your computer. Palm
Desktop software duplicates the Date Book, Address Book, To Do
List, Note Pad, and Memo Pad applications on your handheld, so
you can view, enter, and modify any data stored on your
handheld. (You cannot modify Note Pad data in Palm Desktop
software.)
Back up the data stored on your handheld with HotSync
technology and synchronize the data on your Palm Desktop
software. Synchronization is a one-step procedure that ensures
your data is always safe and up-to-date. See “Exchanging and
updating data: HotSync operations” in Chapter 4 for more
information.
Import and export data so you can easily transfer data from other
desktop applications into Date Book, Address Book, To Do List,
and Memo Pad. See “Importing data” in Chapter 2 for more
information.
Print your Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, and Memo Pad
information on any printer.
Connecting the HotSync cable
The HotSync cable that comes with your handheld enables you to
synchronize the information on your handheld with the Palm Desktop
software using HotSync technology.
Important:
If you are upgrading from another Palm OS handheld,
follow the instructions in Appendix C, “Upgrade
Information” before completing these steps.
