What is a HotSync® operation? A HotSync® operation is a one-step operation that allows 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 Synchronize the Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, and Memo Pad data on your CLIÉ handheld and your computer. The Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software can manage the data of multiple CLIÉ handhelds independently. 2 Back up the data stored on your CLIÉ handheld onto your computer. Synchronization ensures that your data is always safe and up-to-date. In case you need to perform a hard reset, a HotSync operation allows you to restore the data. 3 Import the data on your computer or install add-on applications onto your CLIÉ handheld.
