Synchronization

Why synchronize information?

Why synchronize information?
Synchronizing means that information you enter in one place—your Palm® Treo™ 750 smart device or your computer—is automatically entered in the other; so there’s no need to enter the information twice. We recommend that you sync your Treo 750 with your computer frequently to keep your information up-to-date (and backed up) in both locations.
The information from the following applications is updated by default each time you synchronize:

Synchronize for the first time

As part of the first synchronization process, you install ActiveSync® desktop software on your computer.
Before You Begin:

1. Close all programs on your computer.
2. Insert the Windows Mobile Getting Started Disc into your computer’s
CD drive.
3. Follow the installation instructions on your computer.
