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 Palm™ 
Desktop for CLIÉ.
In addition to the conduits for Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, and 
Memo Pad, Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ 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   (HotSync) in the Windows task tray (Notification 
area) at the bottom right of the computer window, and select 
[Custom...] from the HotSync
® Manager menu.
You can also select [Custom...] from the HotSync menu of Palm™ 
Desktop for CLIÉ.
The Custom window 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.

Synchronizing with external data (File Link)
You can synchronize Address Book or Memo Pad data in your CLIÉ 
handheld with external files such as Address Book data in your computer

on your Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ and your CLIÉ handheld. You can set 
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)
 Memo Pad archive of Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ (*.mpa)
 Address Book archive of Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ (*.aba)
 Text file (*.txt)
* The words in parentheses are file extensions. Archive is a unit that gathers 
associated files.
