device, skip this section.
You can transfer all compatible apps and
info from your previous Palm OS device to
your new Palm Centro smartphone. This
includes your calendar events, contacts,
memos, and tasks, as well as your app
settings, any compatible third-party apps,
and any files that are compatible with the
Palm OS software version 6x on your new
Centro smartphone.
Incompatible files are quarantined.
Quarantined files are not installed on your
smartphone; they are placed in a new
folder on your computer: C:\Program
Files\Palm\device name\PalmOS5
Incompatible Apps. (On some systems
Palm may be replaced with palmOne or
Handspring.)
NOTE We do not recommend using
third-party utilities that back up your old
device’s information onto a microSD
expansion card and then transfer the info to
your smartphone. Such methods transfer

right to calculate the space used. For
example, on the device shown on the
next page, 22.4 – 17.5 = 4.9. This
means that the space used on this
device is 4.9MB.

Messages on both your computer and
your smartphone indicate that
synchronization is in progress.
3 Wait until you see the message on your
smartphone that the HotSync operation
is complete; then disconnect the sync
cable. Do not disconnect the sync cable
until you see this message.
Why synchronize?
Synchronizing means that info that has
been entered or updated in one place—
your smartphone, your computer, or your
corporate server—is automatically updated
in the other. There’s no need to enter the
info twice. We strongly recommend that
you sync your smartphone with your
computer or corporate server frequently to
keep your info up-to-date (and backed up) in
both locations.
The info from all the following applications
is updated by default each time you sync
your smartphone with your desktop
software:
How each application syncs depends on
your computer type and the desktop
software you are using, as follows:

an area with no wireless coverage, your
smartphone searches for a signal, which
consumes power. If you cannot move to
an area of better coverage, temporarily
turn off your phone. While your phone is
