Desktop for IBM WorkPad appear in both places after a HotSync
operation. HotSync technology synchronizes only the needed
portions of files, thus reducing synchronization time.
You can synchronize your data by connecting your companion
directly to your computer with the cradle or indirectly with a
WorkPad c3 Modem or network. See Chapter 6 for information about
performing HotSync operations via a modem or network.
Performing a HotSync operation for the first time
The first time you synchronize your data, you need to enter user
information on both the companion and Palm Desktop for IBM
WorkPad. After you enter this information and synchronize, the
HotSync Manager recognizes your companion and does not ask for
this information again.
If you are a System Administrator preparing several PC companions
for a group of users, see “Creating a user profile” in Chapter 6 before
performing the following steps.
Important: You must perform your first HotSync operation with a
local, direct connection, rather than using a modem.
The following steps assume that you have already installed the Palm
Desktop for IBM WorkPad. If you have not installed this software, see
“Installing Palm Desktop for IBM WorkPad” in Chapter 1 for details.
To perform a local HotSync operation:
1. Insert your companion into the cradle.
Tip: The bottom edge of the companion should align smoothly
with the cradle when it is inserted properly.
