CHAPTER 1

Exploring Your Handheld

Whether you’re at work, at home, or on the go, you’ll quickly understand why handhelds are also called personal digital assistants (PDAs).

Handhelds are for fun, too. You can take pictures and create digital photo albums, play games, and read eBooks. Insert expansion cards (sold separately) to listen to music, to capture videos, or to enjoy useful reference software and more.

Benefits of your Zire™ 72 handheld

• Take photos and capture videos with the built-in camera

• Play music

• Stay in touch with wireless connectivity

CHAPTER 2

Synchronizing Your Handheld with Your Computer

Maybe you only think to use your handheld on its own to look up phone numbers, enter appointments, and so on. But you can do much more with your handheld if you synchronize it with your computer.

Synchronizing simply means that information that has been entered or updated in one place (your handheld or your computer) is automatically updated in the other. No need to enter information twice.

Benefits of synchronizing

• Quickly enter and update information on your computer and your handheld

• Install applications

• Protect your information

• Send photos and videos from your handheld to your desktop computer

n this chapter

Why synchronize information?

What information is synchronized?

Synchronizing information Beyond the basics

CHAPTER 2 Synchronizing Your Handheld with Your Computer

Zire™ 72 Handheld

Why synchronize information?

Quickly enter and update in formation on your computer and handheld. Synchronizing updates information both on your handheld and in Palm

® Desktop software on your computer. For example, you can quickly enter a contact list on your computer and then send it to your handheld instead of re-entering the information.

During CD installation, you can choose to synchronize your handheld with Microsoft Outlook on your computer (Windows only). If you do, information from Contacts, Calendar, T a sks, and Memos is synchronized with Outlook. Other information, such as photos, videos, voice memos, and notes, is synchronized with Palm Desktop software. Y ou ca n insert the CD at any time to choose synchronization with Outlook if you did not do so during the initial installation.

Install applications. With just a few clicks, you can use palmOne™ Quick Install

to add files to

certain applications on your handheld or to install additional software. Protect your information. Nothing is worse than losing important information. When you

synchronize information, you create a backup copy. If something happens to your handheld or your computer, the information is not lost; one tap restores it in both places.

Be sure to synchronize information at least once a day so that you always have

an up-to-date backup copy of important information.

Tip

Synchronize Microsoft Word or Excel files from your computer and open them in the Documents to Go application on your handheld to view and edit them at your convenience.

NOTE

CHAPTER 2 Synchronizing Your Handheld with Your Computer

Zire™ 72 Handheld

What information is synchronized?

If you use the preset settings, information from all the following applications is transferred each time you synchronize your handheld with your computer:

Information from the Expense and Media (photos and videos) applications is synchronized on Windows computers only. When you synchronize on a Mac computer, your photos are stored in the Home/Pictures/palmOne Photos/<username> folder and your videos are stored in Home/Movies/palmOne Videos/<username> folder.

In addition, the preset settings back up system information from your handheld to your computer and install add-on applications

from your computer to your handheld.

If you’ve installed applications from the CD suc h as the VersaMail™ application, these applications may also be included in the presets for synchronization.

If you want to synchronize applications other than the presets, see the section on choosing which applications to synchronize in the User Guide on the web.

You can synchronize more than one handheld with your computer. For example, different family members can synchronize their handhelds with the same copy of Palm Desktop software. Just make sure that each handheld has its own username; Palm Desktop software reads the username and recognizes the handheld during synchronization. Although several people can share the same copy of Palm Desktop software, they should not share the same username.

Before You Begin

[ ! ]

Complete the following:

• Initial handheld setup

• Install Palm Desktop software from the CD

For setup and installation procedures, see Read This First included in your handheld package.

Key Term

Conduit The synchronization software that links an application on your computer with the same application on your handheld.
