Synchronizing Your Handheld with Your Computer

In this chapter

Why synchronize information?

What information is synchronized?

Synchronizing information


Maybe you only think to use your handheld on its own to look up phone numbers, enter appointments, and so on. But you can do much more with your handheld if you synchronize it with your computer.

TM

Synchronizing simply means that information that has been entered or updated in one place (your handheld or your computer) is automatically updated in the other. No need to enter information twice.

Benefits of synchronizing

• Quickly enter and update information on your computer and your handheld

• Install applications

• Protect your information


CHAPTER 2 Synchronizing Your Handheld with Your Computer

Why synchronize information?

Quickly enter and update information on your computer and handheld.

Synchronizing updates information both on your handheld and in Palm® Desktop software on your computer. For

example, you can quickly enter a contact list on your computer and then send it to your handheld instead of re-entering the information.

NOTE During CD installation, you can choose to synchronize your handheld with Microsoft

Outlook on your computer (Windows only). If you do, information from Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Memos is synchronized with Outlook. Other information, such as photos and notes, is synchronized with Palm Desktop software. You can insert the CD at any time to choose synchronization with Outlook if you did not do so during the initial installation.


Install applications.

With just a few clicks, you can use palmOne™ Quick Install to add files to certain applications on your handheld or to install additional software.

Protect your information.

Nothing is worse than losing important information. When you synchronize information, you create a backup copy. If something happens to your handheld or your computer, the information is not lost; one tap restores it in both places.

[ !

] IMPORTANT Be sure to synchronize information at least once a day so that you always have an up-to-date backup copy of important information.

19

CHAPTER 2 Synchronizing Your Handheld with Your Computer

What information is synchronized?

If you use the preset settings, information from all the following applications is transferred each time you synchronize your handheld with your computer:

[ !


Complete the following:

• Initial handheld setup

• Install Palm Desktop software from the CD

For setup and installation procedures, see Read

This First included in your handheld package.

Tip

Conduit The synchronization software that links an application on your computer with the same application on your handheld.

NOTE Information from the Expense and Photos applications is synchronized on Windows computers only. When you synchronize on a Mac computer your photos are stored in the Home/

Pictures/palmOne Photos/<username> folder.

In addition, the preset settings back up system information from your handheld to your computer and install add-on applications from your computer to your handheld.

If you’ve installed applications from the CD such as Photos, these applications may also be included in the presets for synchronization.

If you want to synchronize applications other than the presets, see the section on choosing which

applications to synchronize in the User Guide on the web.

You can synchronize more than one handheld with your computer. For example, different family members can synchronize their handhelds with the same copy of Palm Desktop software. Just make sure that each handheld has its own username; Palm Desktop software reads the username and recognizes the handheld during synchronization. Although several people can share the same copy of Palm Desktop software, they should not share the same username.

Inserting an expansion card

Removing an expansion card


A Chinese proverb says, “Life just gives you time and space; it's up to you to fill it.” But doesn’t it always seem that no matter how much space you have, you still need more?

Expansion cards (sold separately) provide a compact and limitless answer to the storage dilemma. When one card becomes full, simply use another card. To enjoy some aspects of your handheld, such as listening to music, you need to use expansion cards.

Benefits of expansion cards

• Listen to music

• View and store more photos

Common Questions

Although we can’t anticipate all the questions you might have, this chapter provides answers to some of the most commonly asked questions.

How do I upgrade from another Palm OS

®

handheld?

1.

Synchronize your old handheld with your old desktop software.

2.

Install the new Palm ® first.

Desktop software. There’s no need to delete the old desktop software

3.

Select the username you assigned to your old handheld during the desktop installation. This will transfer all your information from the old software to the new software.

4.

Synchronize your new handheld with your new desktop software.

5.

If any third-party applications do not transfer to your new handheld, reinstall them.

6.

If you have problems with your third-party applications on your new handheld, you’ll have to update them. If any of the following symptoms occur on your new handheld after you synchronize, remove the third-party applications and contact the vendor for updated versions:

• Handheld freezes or resets when you open an application

• Slow performance

• Unusual screen display

• Difficulties using handheld features

• Uneven sound quality


CHAPTER 12


Common Questions

Why can’t I find an icon on the Home screen?

• Tap the pick list in the upper-right corner of the Home screen and select All. You may need to scroll down a bit, but you should now see an icon for each of the applications on your handheld.

• Some of the applications that come with your handheld are not preinstalled. You need to install

these extra applications from the CD.

How do I save my info?

Each time you complete an entry such as a contact, memo, or note, your handheld automatically saves the information you entered. You don’t have to do anything special to save your info. To protect your info and create a backup of your info, we recommend that you synchronize your handheld with your computer often.

How do I know when I need to recharge my handheld?

A battery gauge appears at the top of the Home screen. Check the gauge periodically to see if your handheld needs to be recharged. If the battery becomes low, a message appears on the screen prompting you to recharge the battery.

Will I lose all my information if the battery becomes drained?

If the battery is drained to the point that you cannot turn on your handheld, your information is safely stored for close to a week. In this case, there is enough residual energy in the battery to store the information but not enough to turn on your handheld. If your handheld does not turn on when you press the power button, you should recharge it immediately, for a few hours.

How often should I recharge my handheld?

We recommend that you recharge your handheld for at least half an hour every day. Ideally, connect your handheld to a power source every night and recharge it while you sleep. Also, you can conserve battery life by doing any of the following:

CHAPTER 12

Tip

After a soft reset, the

Preferences screen appears with the Date &

Time option highlighted so you can reset the date and time if necessary.


What do I do if my handheld doesn’t respond to taps correctly?

If your handheld is not responding to taps correctly, you need to align the screen.

What do I do if my handheld freezes?

On rare occasions your handheld may not respond when you press a button or tap the screen. In this case, you need to reset your handheld. A soft reset tells your handheld to stop and start over again. This does not affect any of the information or applications on your handheld.

Use the tip of an unfolded paper clip (or similar object without a sharp tip) to gently press the reset button inside the hole on the back panel of your handheld.

Reset button


If a soft reset does not unfreeze your handheld, you need to perform a hard reset. For instructions see the User Guide on the web.

Can I open my handheld?

No, do not open your handheld; there are no serviceable parts inside. Opening your handheld voids the warranty and is not recommended under any circumstances.

Static Electricity, ESD, and Your palmOne™ Handheld

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to electronic devices if discharged into the device, so you should take steps to avoid such an occurrence.

Description of ESD

Static electricity is an electrical charge caused by the buildup of excess electrons on the surface of a material.

To most people, static electricity and ESD are nothing more than annoyances. For example, after walking over a carpet while scuffing your feet, building up electrons on your body, you may get a shock -- the discharge event -- when you touch a metal doorknob. This little shock discharges the built-up static electricity.

ESD-susceptible equipment

Even a small amount of ESD can harm circuitry, so when working with electronic devices, take measures to help protect your electronic devices, including your palmOne ™ handheld, from ESD harm. While palmOne has built protections against ESD into its products, ESD unfortunately exists and, unless neutralized, could build up to levels that could harm your equipment. Any electronic device that contains an external entry point for plugging in anything from cables to docking stations is susceptible to entry of ESD. Devices that you carry with you, such as your handheld, build up ESD in a unique way because the static electricity that may have built up on your body is automatically passed to the device. Then, when the device is connected to another device such as a docking station, a discharge event can occur.

Precautions against ESD

Make sure to discharge any built-up static electricity from yourself and your electronic devices before touching an electronic device or connecting one device to another. The recommendation from palmOne is that you take this precaution before connecting your handheld to your computer, placing the handheld in a cradle, or connecting it to any other device. You can do this in many ways, including the following:

• Ground yourself when you’re holding your mobile device by simultaneously touching a metal surface that is at earth ground.

86

Zire™ 31 Handheld

• For example, if your computer has a metal case and is plugged into a standard three-prong grounded outlet, touching the case should discharge the ESD on your body.

• Increase the relative humidity of your environment.

• Install ESD-specific prevention items, such as grounding mats.

Conditions that enhance ESD occurrences

Conditions that can contribute to the buildup of static electricity in the environment include the following:

• Low relative humidity.

• Material type (The type of material gathering the charge. For example, synthetics are more prone to static buildup than natural fibers like cotton.)

• The rapidity with which you touch, connect or disconnect electronic devices.

While you should always take appropriate precautions to discharge static electricity, if you are in an environment where you notice ESD events you may want to take extra precautions to protect your electronic equipment against ESD.
