Performing the first HotSync operation

You must perform your first HotSync operation with a local, direct connection 

or with infrared communication, rather than using a modem.

The following steps assume that you have already installed the Palm Desktop 
software. If you have not yet installed this software, refer to "Installing Palm Desktop 
software" on page 11 for instructions.

To perform the first HotSync operation:

1

Insert your Acer s10 into the cradle.

2

If the HotSync Manager is not running (i.e., the HotSync Manager icon 

 is not visible 

in the bottom right corner of the Windows system tray) start it: 

• On Windows desktop, click Start, and then choose Programs. 

• Navigate to the Palm Desktop program group and choose HotSync Manager. 

Alternatively, you can start the Palm Desktop software which automatically 
opens the HotSync Manager.

3

Press the HotSync button on the cradle.

.

If you are using an optional USB or Serial sync cable instead of a cradle, click the 

HotSync Manager icon in the bottom right corner of the Windows system tray, then select 
Local from the menu.

4

Enter a user ID in the New User dialog box and click OK. The HotSync Progress dialog 
box appears and synchronization begins.

Every handheld should have a unique name. To prevent loss of of user’s 

records, never try to synchronize more than one handheld to the same user name.
