Introduction to Intellisync
Welcome to the Intellisync Quick Start Guide. This guide is
designed to help you install Intellisync, as well as complete your
first synchronization. It also includes information on accessing
online Help and user guides.
What is Intellisync?
Intellisync enables you to synchronize your Palm OS®handheld
with a variety of popular Windows applications. This means that if
you want to maintain the same data on your handheld as on your
PC, there’s an easy way to ensure that each system contains the
same up-to-date information.
Intellisync transfers data of different formats between your two
systems. But it does more than simply transfer the data. Intellisync
compares the records in your handheld or device to the records in
your PC. It then makes whatever changes are necessary in each
system to keep them both up-to-date, and “in sync.”
Additional documentation
The Intellisync software includes additional documentation in the
form of electronic copies of manuals (Adobe Acrobat .pdf format),
online Help files, and Readme files. The additional documentation
consists of:
• Intellisync User Guide. This is an Adobe Acrobat file. It
provides complete information on using Intellisync with your
handheld device.
View the Intellisync User Guide from the Intellisync group on
the Start menu by clicking Intellisync User Guide.
Note: Intellisync includes a copy of the Acrobat Reader
software used to read and print Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format
documents. Acrobat Reader is available for installation on the

CD. To install it, insert the Intellisync CD into your CD-ROM
drive and click Get Acrobat Reader on the opening screen.
• Online Help. Intellisync includes complete online Help that is
accessible through the Help icon in the Intellisync program
group or by clicking Help in the program interface dialog
boxes.
• Readme. The Readme file contains important information that
arrived too late to be put into the Help system or the user guide.
View the Readme file from the Intellisync group on the Start
menu by clicking Intellisync Readme.

The Intellisync icons
The Intellisync Program Group displays the following icons:
The Intellisync Favorites Folder icon contains Web
page links to enable easy and timely access to
information on Intellisync products, technical issues,
and other important topics.
The Intellisync Configure icon accesses the
Intellisync Configuration dialog box—the main
dialog box used to configure Intellisync operations.
The Intellisync Help icon accesses the Intellisync
online Help system.
The Intellisync Readme icon displays a text file
containing last-minute information not included in
the manual or online Help. It is advisable to read this
information before you start using Intellisync.
The Intellisync Support Tool icon displays a tabbed
dialog box that provides information on various
support-related topics and links to Pumatech's Web
site.
You can use the Uninstall Intellisync icon to remove
the Intellisync program from your system.
The Intellisync User Guide icon accesses the
Intellisync User guide in PDF format.
In addition to the Intellisync icons, the install procedure places two
shortcut icons (HotSync and Palm Install Tool) in the program
group for your convenience.

Getting Started with Intellisync

Getting Started with Intellisync
This section gets you started with your first synchronization by
providing configuration information and a synchronization
procedure.
Entering configuration settings
How does Intellisync know what to synchronize? You tell
Intellisync what to synchronize through the information you enter in
a set of configuration dialog boxes. These dialog boxes specify the
data you want to synchronize and contain special settings affecting
synchronization.
Once you have the options and settings in these dialog boxes
configured the way you want them, you need never access them
again unless you want to make a change.
Note: For simplicity, this quick start guides you through the
process of configuring and running a synchronization.
However, these instructions apply to importing and exporting
data as well. The only difference between configuring a
synchronization and setting up a one-way transfer of data is in
the selection of the operation in the Choose Translator dialog
box.

Quick Start Guide

Performing the first synchronization
Follow these steps to configure and perform your first
synchronization:
1. Click the Intellisync Configure shortcut or the Intellisync
Configure icon in the Intellisync program group. This displays
the Intellisync Configuration dialog box:

2. In the Configuration dialog box, select the handheld application
you want to synchronize. Then click Choose to open the
Choose Translator dialog box:
Figure 2. Intellisync Choose Translator dialog box
3. In the Choose Translator dialog box, specify the PC application
you want to synchronize. If a File Name or Folder text box is
present, use the Browse capability to select the file or folder
you want to synchronize.
Note: Some PC applications do not require you to specify a file
name. If this is the case, the “active” or last-used file is used by
default, and the File Name text box is not present in the Choose
Translator dialog box. Checking the Apply to all applications
check box (if available) at the bottom of the dialog box assigns
the selected PC application for synchronization with all
compatible handheld applications.

4. If the Options button is enabled, click it and make sure the
system options are set appropriately for the application you
have selected. Then click OK to return to the Choose
Translator dialog box.
5. Click OK to return to the Configuration dialog box:
Figure 3. Intellisync Configuration dialog box - selected
applications
Now, the PC application you selected appears next to the
handheld application name, and a two-sided arrow appears
between the handheld and PC application names.
Note the check box adjacent to the handheld application name.
By default, this check box is selected, indicating that the data is
activated for synchronization. Clearing a check box prevents an
application from being included in a synchronization. Clearing
a check box does not affect any custom settings.

6. To review or alter settings affecting synchronization, click
Advanced.This displays the Advanced Settings dialog box.
(Intellisync fills in default values for all settings.)
Figure 4. Intellisync Advanced Settings dialog box
7. When settings are configured as you want them, click OK to
return to the Configuration dialog box.
8. To change any of the fields that will be synchronized, click
Field Mapping and then OK. The Field Mapping dialog box
appears. Make changes as needed. If you do not want to keep
the changes, click Reset. Otherwise, click OK and then OK
again to close the Advanced Settings dialog box.
9. If necessary, repeat the preceding procedure for each of the
handheld applications you want to synchronize. Then click OK
to save specifications and exit the Configuration dialog box.

10. With your handheld in the cradle and the cradle connected to
the appropriate COM port on your PC, press the sync button on
the cradle. The synchronization process begins, and the
Progress dialog box appears.
Figure 5. HotSync Progress dialog box
Note: If you click Cancel on the Progress dialog box,
synchronization will stop when Intellisync finishes
synchronizing the current handheld application.
11. If a Conflict Resolution dialog box appears, resolve any “data
conflicts.”
Note: For each set of data you synchronize, Intellisync uses a
history file to determine the changes that must be made in each
of your systems to achieve synchronization. This file is created
by the first synchronization of the data. Therefore, a “first run”
synchronization is different from (and may take longer than)
subsequent synchronizations. “First run” synchronizations
simply merge your handheld and PC data, and uses a Conflict
Resolution setting to resolve data conflicts.
When the operation is complete, your handheld displays the
message HotSync complete.
