Introduction

Chapter 1: Introduction to the iQue® Handheld

With your iQue handheld, you will successfully be able to manage meetings and appointments, remember people’s names and
personal details, and keep track of all the items on your To Do List at both work and home.
You will find it easy to start using the iQue handheld, become familiar with its physical buttons and controls, and use HotSync
technology to synchronize (exchange and update) your iQue handheld and Palm

Text areas and screens allow you to enter information.
1.8 Chapter 1 Introduction
Introduction: Using Menus

Using Menus and Menu Commands

Menus on your handheld are easy to use and work the same way in all applications. Menu bars and manual commands differ based on the application and the area of the application in which you’re working. For example, in the Memo Pad, the Memo List screen and the Memo screen display different menus.
Menu commands for each application are described in the corresponding application’s chapter, with the exception of the Edit menu. For information on Edit menu commands, see “Using the Edit Menu” in Chapter 5.
®
Most menu commands have an equivalent Graffiti
2 command stroke, which is similar to keyboard shortcuts used to execute
commands on computers. To use Graffiti 2 menu commands, menus must be closed.
To display a menu bar and choose a command:
1. Do one of the following:
• Open an application (such as the Date Book); then tap the
Menu icon. Select the desired command from the
menu.
• Tap the inverted tab in the upper left corner of the screen. Tap the desired command from the menu.
• In the text input area of your device’s screen, drag a diagonal line from the lower left to upper right to display the Command toolbar. The command bar displays for approximately 4 seconds.
2. Tap the icon that represents the command you want, or enter the shortcut for the command in the text input area below the Command toolbar. For example, to choose Select All in the Edit menu, draw the Graffiti 2 command stroke in the text area to display the Command toolbar and then draw the letter S. Note that if you wait more than three seconds to draw the shortcut letter, you will have to redraw the Graffiti 2 command stroke to redisplay the Command toolbar.

Introduction: Palm™ Desktop Software

PALM™ DESKTOP SOFTWARE

Palm Desktop software includes the same main applications as your iQue Memo Pad and desktop e-mail connectivity. You can use the HotSync between your handheld and your computer.
It’s a good idea to frequently back up your data 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 on your handheld, so that you can view, enter, and modify any 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
Updating Data using HotSync Operations” in Chapter 9 for more information.
• Import and export data, so you can easily transfer data from other desktop applications into any of your main applications. 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.

Connecting the Cradle

The cradle that comes with your iQue handheld enables you to synchronize the information on your iQue handheld with the
Palm Desktop software using HotSync technology.
To connect your cradle on a PC-compatible computer:
1. Plug the cable from the iQue handheld cradle into an available USB port on your computer.
NOTE: Your iQue handheld requires a dedicated port. It cannot share a port with an internal modem or other device. If you are unsure about the exact location of the USB port on your computer, refer to the manual sup­plied with the computer.

Upgrade Information

If you do not own another Palm™ Powered device, you may go on to “Installing Palm Desktop Software” on the next page. If you already own Palm Powered device, Garmin recommends that you install the version of Palm Desktop Software that comes with your new handheld into the same folder as your current Palm Desktop software. All of your data is preserved when you install the new version in the same folder as the previous version. If you use another Personal Information Manager (PIM) such as Microsoft
®
Outlook, you still must install the most recent HotSync
Manager and conduit software for your PIM from the Setup CD that came
®
with your new handheld. You can perform HotSync operations on your new device in exactly the same way as you did on your old handheld, allowing you to quickly synchronize your existing data with your new handheld.
NOTE: If you used security features (password protection, for example) on your old Palm Powered device, you must upgrade to the most current desktop. The method of storing passwords has changed with the latest release of the desktop. Therefore, your password-protected information will not be synchronized if you do not upgrade.
To upgrade your handheld:
1. Synchronize your old handheld with your old Palm Desktop software to ensure that the latest information from your handheld is on your desktop computer.
2. (Optional) To prevent data loss, go to the folder that stores the Palm Desktop software, copy the folder and its con­tents, rename it (for example, Palm Backup), and store the copy outside the Palm Desktop software folder.
3. Follow the instructions in “Installing Palm Desktop Software” on the following page. Make sure you install the new software in the same folder as the old software.
4. During iQue installation, when you are asked which user name you wish to use to perform your HotSync operation, select New. Create a unique user name that you can easily differentiate from your previous handheld’s user name. Each handheld must have a unique name in order to prevent complications and unexpected results during HotSync operations.
5. Place your new handheld in the cradle and press the
HotSync button. If the Select User dialog box appears, select
your new user name.
NOTE: If you customized the modem setup on your old handheld, you must re-enter the modem initialization string. Any passwords that you set on your old handheld are not restored during this HotSync operation, and will need to be re-assigned. Records you previously marked Private remain marked Private but you need to re­enter a password on your new handheld.

Using Your Handheld with Another Personal Information Manager

If you want to use another Personal Information Manager (PIM), such as Microsoft® Outlook, you need to install connection software for your PIM, called a conduit. Conduits allow you to synchronize data between your handheld and a PIM instead of the Palm Desktop. The Setup CD includes free and evaluation versions of Palm software applications for use with your iQue 3200. For example, the DataViz Mail conduit allows you to view and edit your Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes e-mail on your handheld.
To install a conduit:
1. Insert the iQue 3200 Setup CD in your computer’s CD-ROM drive. Select Install Software
from the menu.
2. Select Bonus Software, then Productivity Software, and then select the name of the conduit you wish to install.
3. The InstallShield Wizard begins installing the software. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
