Customizing HotSync® application settings 
(Conduit)
The programs handling the data of an application during a 
HotSync® operation are called “conduit.”
For each application, you can define a set of options that determine how data 
is handled during synchronization. By default, a HotSync
® operation 
synchronizes all 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 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.

What is a passkey?
A passkey is a secret code entered by a user to enable two Bluetooth compatible 
devices to communicate. A user can enter any characters and numbers to create a 
passkey.
The same passkey should be entered on both devices to permit communication 
between those devices. A user can change a passkey for every communication 
session as long as the same one is used for both devices. Once communication is 
permitted, the communication between the devices will be available without 
entering the passkey for a preset period of time.
10Enter the same passkey you entered in step 9 on your 
computer.
If the name you entered in step 3 is added to the Available 
Connections: list, the preparation is complete.
