What is a HotSync® operation? A HotSync® operation is a one-step operation that enables you to synchronize data between your CLIÉ handheld and your computer. With just one press on the HotSync button, you can synchronize your CLIÉ handheld application data with the Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software data on your computer, back up the data of your CLIÉ handheld on your computer, or install add-on applications. 1 Synchronizing the data between your CLIÉ handheld and your computer Synchronizes the data of the Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, and Memo Pad between your CLIÉ handheld and your computer. You can manage the data of multiple CLIÉ handhelds separately using the Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software. 2 Saving back up data on your computer Automatically creates the back up data of your CLIÉ handheld on your computer. Should you delete data by accident, or data be deleted by battery shut-off, or you need to perform a hard reset, a HotSync® operation allows you to restore the data using the back up data in your computer. For details on backing up data, refer to page 150. Exchanging and updating data using a HotSync® operation Continued on next page 58
