Customizing HotSync® application settings 
(Conduit)
A program handling the data of an application during the 
HotSync® operation is called a “conduit.”
For each application, you can define a set of options that determine how data 
is handled during synchronization. By default, the HotSync
® operation 
synchronizes all files/data between your CLIÉ handheld and the Palm™ 
Desktop for CLIÉ software.
In addition to the conduits for Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, and 
Memo Pad, the Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software offers System and Install 
conduits. The System conduit backs up the system information stored on your 
CLIÉ handheld. The Install conduit installs add-on applications to your CLIÉ 
handheld. You can select them as needed.
1Click the HotSync   icon in the Windows task tray (at the 
bottom right of the taskbar) and select Custom from the 
HotSync
® Manager menu.
You can also select Custom from the HotSync menu of the Palm™ 
Desktop for CLIÉ software.
The Custom dialog box is displayed.
2Select the user name you are using on your CLIÉ handheld 
from the list at the top.
3Select an application in the Conduit list.

the File Link feature to start synchronization only when the external file has 
been updated.
 
Compatible file formats that you can import with File Link:
 Comma delimited (*.csv)
