Synchronizing Your Handheld with Your Computer
In this chapter
Why synchronize information?
What information is synchronized?
Synchronizing information
Beyond the basics
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
• Send photos and videos from your handheld to your desktop computer
Zire™ 72 Handheld 20
CHAPTER 2
Tip
Synchronize Microsoft
Word or Excel files from your computer and open them in the Documents to Go application on your handheld to view and edit them at your convenience.
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, videos, voice memos, 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.
Zire™ 72 Handheld
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.
21
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:
[ !
] Before You Begin
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.
»
Key Term
Conduit The synchronization software that links an application on your computer with the same application on your handheld.
Tip
You can synchronize your handheld with your computer wirelessly using the built-in
Bluetooth
®
technology on your handheld.
NOTE Information from the Expense and Media (photos and videos) 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 and your videos are stored in Home/Movies/palmOne Videos/<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 the VersaMail™ application, 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.

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:

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

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 e lectricity 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.
• 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.
128
Zire™ 72 Handheld
• 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.
