Troubleshooting third-party applications
Palm works with developers of third-party add-on applications to ensure the compatibility of
these applications with your new Palm handheld. Some third-party applications, however, may
not have been upgraded to be compatible with your new Palm handheld.
If you suspect that a third-party application is adversely affecting the operation of your handheld,
contact the developer of the application. In addition, Palm has information about some
applications’ compatibility with your handheld. To find this information, do one of the following:
 •Go to www.palm.com/support/tungstent. Click the link leading to information about  
  compatibility of third-party applications.
 •Read the readme file for your handheld. After you install Palm Desktop software on your  
  computer, open the Palm folder. The readme file is located in the Helpnote folder.

 •Make sure your handheld is well seated in the cradle.
•Make sure the cradle is connected to a working USB port of your desktop computer.
Windows: After you install Palm Desktop software, try the following:
•Check the Windows system tray, in the lower-right corner of your computer screen, and make 
  sure the HotSync icon appears there. If it is there, then HotSync Manager is running.
   (a) If the HotSync icon is in the system tray, click it to display the menu. Make sure there is a
    check mark next to Local USB. If you are using a serial-port connection, make sure Local
    Serial has a check mark. To insert a check mark, click the menu item. Then press the 
    HotSync button on the cradle.
   (b) If the HotSync icon is not in the system tray, click the Start button 
    and select Programs. Select Palm Desktop, and then select   

   (c) If you are using a serial cradle/cable, make sure you selected the  
    correct serial port on the Local tab in the Setup dialog box. Set it 
    to the port to which you connected the HotSync cradle/cable.
Mac: After you install Palm Desktop software, try the following:
 •Make sure the Transport Monitor of the HotSync Manager is enabled. Open the Palm folder 
  and double-click the HotSync Manager icon. The HotSync Software Setup dialog box appears.
  In the HotSync Controls tab, click Enabled.
•If you are using a USB cradle, disconnect the cradle from your computer, and then reconnect 
  the cradle and restart your computer.
•If you are using the optional serial cradle, double-click the HotSync Manager icon in the Palm 
  folder, and then click the Connection Settings tab. Make sure PalmConnect is selected and 
