Installing Palm Desktop software 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. To ensure a safe and uninterrupted installation of Palm Desktop software, please do the following before installing: s Turn off your computer and connect the cradle to it. s If you are installing from diskettes (rather than the CD-ROM included in the box), make sure the original Palm Desktop software diskettes are write-protected, and then make backup copies of them. When you finish, use the copies to install the software, and store the original diskettes in a safe place. Refer to your computer's manual or operating system documentation if you need information about locking or copying diskettes. s 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. Exit any open programs, including those that run automatically at startup such as Microsoft Office, and disable any virus-scanning software. 2. Insert the Palm Desktop software CD-ROM into the computer's CD-ROM drive (or insert the diskette labeled Setup into the diskette drive). 3. When the Palm Desktop Installer Menu appears, click the Install button to begin the installation procedure. 4. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation. During installation you will be asked to insert your organizer into the cradle. Page 12 Introduction to Your Palm V™ Organizer
