Upgrading from another Palm OS
handheld
If you already own a Palm OS handheld, you must install the version
of Palm Desktop software that comes with your new handheld. To
upgrade quickly and easily, perform the tasks described in the
following sections. Some tasks are specifically for upgrading.
Preparing to use your handheld
Before you begin using your handheld and Palm Desktop software,
you must complete a few easy installation tasks.
To use your handheld and Palm Desktop software, complete the
following:
(If upgrading) Perform a HotSync operation using your old
handheld and cradle. This ensures all data on your handheld is on
your desktop computer.
Connect the HotSync cradle that comes with your Palm m500
series handheld to your computer. See “Connecting the HotSync
cradle” later in this chapter for details.
Charge the battery in your new handheld. See “Charging your
handheld” later in this chapter for details.
(If upgrading) You may want to create a copy of your old Palm
Desktop software folder and its contents before installing your
new Palm Desktop software. If you do this, rename the copied
folder (for example, Palm Old), and store it outside the Palm
Desktop software folder. This step is optional.
Install the Palm Desktop software that comes with your Palm m500
series handheld. See “Installing Palm Desktop software” later in
this chapter for details.
Perform a HotSync operation. See “Exchanging and updating data:
Universal
connector
Connects your handheld to the cradle, which in
turn connects to the back of your computer and
through the AC adapter to the wall current. This
allows you to recharge your handheld as well as
update the information between your handheld
and computer using HotSync technology.
The universal connector also connects peripheral
hardware devices, such as a modem, to your
handheld.
