Using your handheld with another PIM If you prefer to use another personal information manager (PIM), such as Microsoft Outlook, you still need to install Palm Desktop software in order to add HotSync Manager, the connection software, and other features of Palm Desktop software to your computer. The connection software, called a conduit, lets you synchronize the data between your handheld and your PIM. The conduit for Microsoft Outlook is included on the Palm Desktop software CD-ROM (Windows only); however you must install it in addition to the Palm Desktop software. For information on the availability of conduit software for the PIM you use, contact the vendor of your PIM or visit the web site http://www.palm.com. Tapping and typing Tap with the stylus to get things done Like using a mouse to click elements on a computer screen, using the stylus to tap elements on your handheld screen is the basic action that gets things done on your handheld. The first time you start your handheld, setup instructions appear on the screen. These instructions include a calibration screen. Calibration aligns the internal circuitry of your handheld with its touch-sensitive screen so that when you tap an element on the screen, the handheld can detect exactly which task you want to perform. Important: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the handheld screen. Never use an actual pen, pencil, or other sharp object to write on the handheld screen. With your handheld turned on, you can tap the handheld screen to do many operations, such as the following: s Open applications s Choose menu commands s Initiate a Find operation to search through applications installed on your handheld for specific text (Find operations do not search through applications on expansion cards) s Select options in dialog boxes s Open the onscreen keyboards Page 16 Introduction to Your Handheld
