PALM
 DESKTOP SOFTWARE
Palm Desktop software includes the same main applications as your iQue
®
 handheld: Address Book, Date Book, To Do List, 
Memo Pad and desktop e-mail connectivity.  You can use the HotSync
®
 feature of this software to back up and exchange data 
between your handheld and your computer.
It’s a good idea to frequently back up your data in case something happens to the data on your iQue handheld.  Changes you 
make on your iQue handheld or Palm Desktop software appear in both places after you synchronize.
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 
Book, To Do List, and Memo Pad applications on your handheld, so that you can view, enter, and modify any data stored on 
your handheld.
•  Back up the data stored on your handheld with HotSync technology and synchronize the data on your Palm Desktop 
software.  Synchronization is a one-step procedure that ensures your data is always safe and up-to-date.  See 
 in Chapter 9 for more information.  
•  Import and export data, so you can easily transfer data from other desktop applications into any of your main applications.  
See 
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:
1.  Plug the cable from the iQue handheld cradle into an available 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 sup-
plied with the computer.
