Conducting a HotSync operation via modem
You can use a modem to synchronize your CLIÉ handheld when you are
away from your computer. A HotSync
®
operation via modem allows you to
back up your CLIÉ data to your computer away from your computer.
Notes
• The first HotSync operation must be local, using the cradle. After that, you can
perform a modem HotSync operation.
• It may take many minutes to complete a HotSync operation via modem. To minimize
the time required to synchronize data with a modem, define the files and/or
applications you synchronize during a modem HotSync operation in advance. For
details, see “To select the conduits for a modem HotSync operation” on page 117.
Before you start performing a HotSync operation via modem
Verify the following:
•A modem or terminal adapter is connected to your computer.

the modem.
