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 HotSync
®
technology to back up and exchange data between your handheld and
your computer.
It is a good idea to back up your data frequently 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 so that you can view, enter, and modify 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 Chapter 9,
“Exchanging and Updating Data using HotSync Operations” for more information.
• Import and export data so that you can easily transfer data from other applications on your personal computer into
applications in your handheld. See “Importing Data” in Chapter 2 for more information.
• Print your Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, and Memo Pad information on any printer.
Installing Palm Desktop Software
For specific instructions on installing Palm Desktop software, please refer to the Setup Guide, included with the Setup disk. You
need this disk to install the software. After installation, refer to the online Help in Palm Desktop for information on how to use the
Palm Desktop software.
Using Your Handheld with Another Personal Information Manager
If you prefer to use another Personal Information Manager (PIM), such as Microsoft
®
Outlook, be sure to install the correct
connection software, called a conduit. Keep in mind, though, that you must install Palm Desktop software to set up your handheld.
