Upgrading from another Palm OS handheld If you already own a Palm OS handheld, we recommend that you install the version of Palm Desktop software that comes with your new Palm m100 series handheld into the same folder as your current Palm Desktop software. When you install the new version in the same folder as the previous version, all your data is preserved. Note: If you use another personal information manager (PIM), you still need to install Palm Desktop software in order to add HotSync Manager, conduit software, and other features of Palm Desktop software to your computer. Upgrading on a Windows computer: 1. Synchronize your old handheld with your old Palm Desktop software to ensure all the data from your handheld is on your desktop computer. 2. (Optional) To ensure against data loss, copy the Palm Desktop software folder and all its contents, rename it (for example, Palm Old), and store the copy outside the Palm Desktop software folder. 3. Follow the instructions in "Installing Palm Desktop software" in Chapter 1. Be sure to install the new software in the same folder as the old software. 4. To prepare for the first HotSync operation that synchronizes your new handheld with your new Palm Desktop software, go to the HotSync Manager and choose Custom. Note: Be sure your user name appears in the box at the top of the Custom dialog box. If not, select your user name. 5. For all conduits, click Change and select the option Desktop overwrites handheld. Then click Done. 6. Connect the HotSync cradle/cable to your computer. See "Connecting the HotSync cradle/cable" in Chapter 1 for details. 7. Connect your new handheld to the HotSync cradle/cable and press the HotSync button. If the Select User dialog box appears, select your user name. Note: If you customized the modem setup on your old handheld, you must re-enter the modem initialization string. You must also re-enter your passwords. Records you previously marked Private are still marked Private. Chapter 4 Page 43
