=================================================================


1) Installation Notes

If you have an original Pilot (1000, 5000, or 1MB upgrade) and are using Pilot Desktop 1.0, you need to uninstall Pilot Desktop 1.0 and upgrade to the latest Palm Desktop before installing PocketMirror.  The Palm Desktop 2.x and 3.x software is available as a free download on Palm's support download page (www.palm.com).

You must install the Palm Desktop 2.0 or higher software BEFORE installing PocketMirror.  We recommend synchronizing with the Palm Desktop before installing PocketMirror to insure the HotSync Manager is functioning properly.

IF YOU UNINSTALL PALM DESKTOP AFTER INSTALLING POCKETMIRROR, YOU MUST REINSTALL POCKETMIRROR.


=================================================================


2) First Synchronization Tips

The first time you synchronize the data between your handheld and Outlook is different from a regular synchronization because there is no history for PocketMirror to use as a guide during the process.  You need to select whether PocketMirror should synchronize Outlook and the handheld, have Outlook overwrite the handheld, or have the handheld overwrite Outlook.  The default is to synchronize the two.  If you choose "synchronize" for your first synchronization, all handheld items will be added to Outlook if no match can be round, and all Outlook items will be added to your handheld if no match can be found.  Note:  If you have extensive duplicate records between your handheld and Outlook, you might want to consider an option other than synchronize.

If you have a substantial amount of information in Outlook, we recommend that you back up your Outlook information BEFORE your first synchronization.  Refer to Backing Up Your Outlook Data for more information.

We recommend leaving the default synchronization setting on "Synchronize".  This will keep PocketMirror from deleting data from either Outlook or your handheld.  You may have more duplicate records than you want when you are done, but all of your data will be protected.  This is recommended for most users. 

You can go to your synchronization settings in Chapura Settings and select "Outlook overwrites Handheld" for each of the four applications.  Use this setting only if you want to delete all the items from your handheld and create new items in your handheld from Outlook.  To do this:

1.  Go to Start/Programs/PocketMirror.
2.  Click on "PocketMirror Settings".
3.  In Chapura Settings, click on your user name and select "Settings".
4.  Select the applications (one at a time) and click on "Change".
5.  Select "HotSync Action" from the Topics.
6.  Select "Outlook overwrites Handheld" for each of the four applications.

During synchronization, this setting will erase your handheld items and copy your Outlook items into the handheld.  All subsequent synchronizations should be set to "Synchronize".
