Synchronizing Data With PC Sync

When you synchronize your data, records that were deleted either in your Organizer or PC Sync Program will be deleted in both. New records added in either, will now be added in both. Edited records will be updated in both. If you edit the same record in both your Organizer and your PC Sync Program, copies of both records will be retained.

WARNING! Once you synchronize your Organizer with the PC Sync Program on one computer, they become a matched pair. Should you try to synchronize your Organizer data with PC Sync on another computer, your data is likely to be corrupted. It is best to synchronize between a single matched pair.

1. Make sure that the cable is connected securely to

both the PC and the Organizer.
