Synchronizing with external data (File Link) You can synchronize Address Book or Memo Pad data in your CLIÉ handheld with external files such as address book data in your computer (File Link). HotSync® Manager stores the file data in your computer in a separate category on your Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software and your CLIÉ handheld. You can set the File Link feature to start synchronization only when the external file has been updated. The compatible file formats that you can import with File Link • Comma delimited (*.csv) • Memo Pad archive of the Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software (*.mpa) • Address Book archive of the Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software (*.aba) • Text file (*.txt) b For details on how to set up File Link, refer to the online help of the Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software.
