Palm Setup

This information is to assist you in the initial setup of your new Palm or Pocket PC. Your device also should have come with instructions for basic setup. If you have them, you may want to follow those steps then skip directly to "Configuring Oracle Sync."

The FIRST step for any new, out-of-the-box handheld is to fully charge it. This takes a good two to four hours. Make sure to give it ample time to do so before attempting any of these steps.
