Selecting Conduits for a Modem HotSync Operation
You can define which files, applications, or both on your handheld synchronize during a modem HotSync operation, to
minimize the time required to synchronize data with a Palm
™
Modem accessory. To define what synchronizes, you use the Conduit
Setup dialog box.
Applications that do not have a database (such as games) do not synchronize—even if you select the item in the Conduit Setup
dialog box.

a HotSync operation:
1. Tap the
Applications Launcher (Home) icon.
2. Tap the
HotSync icon.

applications that you do not want to synchronize during a modem HotSync
operation. The default setting is to synchronize all files.
