Synchronizing Data with Your Computer
Synchronizing Data 
with Your Computer
You can use the synchronization features of Palm Desktop software and your HotSync 
cable to exchange data between your Treo and your computer. This process is called a 
HotSync operation. Each time you perform a HotSync operation, any information you 
entered or changed on your Treo is copied to your computer and vice versa. This backs up 
your data and is strongly advised.
Before you perform a HotSync operation, you need to connect the HotSync cable to your 
computer and install the Palm Desktop software from the Handspring CD. You can 
connect the USB cable that comes with your Treo, or you can purchase a serial cable at 
www.handspring.com.
