Installing and removing applications
This section explains how to install and remove applications on your handheld or 
on an expansion card, and how to remove Palm™ Desktop software from your 
computer.
Installing add-on applications
Your handheld comes with the Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, Note Pad, 
Memo Pad, and Calculator applications installed and ready to use.
You can also install additional applications on your handheld or on a card that is 
seated in the expansion card slot, such as games and other software. The Install 
Tool makes it easy to install software during a HotSync
® operation. There are a 
variety of third-party applications available for your handheld. To learn more 
about these applications, visit the web site
 www.palm.com.
NOTEAny game or application that you install on your handheld resides in RAM 
memory; you can delete them at any time.
To install add-on software on your handheld using a Windows computer:
1.On your computer, copy or download the application you want to install into 
the add-on folder in your Palm Desktop directory on your computer.
NOTEIf the software you download is compressed, you need to decompress 
it into this folder. If you prefer to place the application into another folder, you 
need to navigate to that folder before you complete step 5.
2.Double-click the Palm Desktop icon on your desktop.
