Using the Palm Desktop software, you can do the following:
• Work with your iQue handheld applications on your computer. Palm Desktop software duplicates the Date Book, Address

• Back up the data stored on your handheld with HotSync technology and synchronize the data on your Palm Desktop
in Chapter 9 for more information.
• Import and export data so that you can easily transfer data from other applications on your personal computer into
in Chapter 2 for more information.
• Print your Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, and Memo Pad information on any printer.
Connecting the Cradle
The cradle that comes with your iQue handheld enables you to synchronize the information on your iQue handheld with the Palm™
Desktop software using HotSync
®
technology.
To connect your cradle on a PC-compatible computer:
Plug the cable from the iQue handheld cradle into a USB port on your computer.
NOTE: Your iQue handheld requires a dedicated port. It cannot share a port with an internal modem or other device. If
you are unsure about the exact location of the USB port on your computer, refer to the manual supplied with the computer.
Installing Palm Desktop Software
For specific instructions on installing Palm Desktop software, please refer to the Setup Guide, included with the Setup CD. You will
need this CD to install the software. After installation, refer to the online Help in Palm Desktop software for information on how to
use the Palm Desktop software.
Using Your Handheld with Another Personal Information Manager
If you prefer to use another Personal Information Manager (PIM), such as Microsoft
®
Outlook, be sure to install the correct
connection software, called a conduuit. Keep in mind, though, that you must install Palm Desktop software to set up your handheld.
