Setting up your computer
Synchronization lets you enter information on your computer (using Palm
®
Desktop
software or Microsoft Outlook for Windows) and then efficiently transfer that info to
your Treo 650 smartphone. At the same time, changes you make on your Treo are
transferred to Palm Desktop or Microsoft Outlook. Even if you manage all your
contacts on your Treo, synchronization is a great way to back up your info.
Before you can synchronize, you need to install the desktop synchronization software
on your computer. Even if you already own a Palm Powered
®
device and have
installed a previous version, you must install the software that came with your Treo
on the Software Installation CD.
