To install a Palm handheld computer using Bluetooth technology

1. Attach or turn on the Bluetooth radio adapter for your Windows XP computer.
2. Set up your Palm handheld computer so that Windows XP can find it. Setting up your handheld computer includes:
   • Turning it on
   • Making it discoverable (or visible)
   • Giving it a name (optional)
3. Open Bluetooth Devices in Control Panel.
4. On the Devices tab, click Add.
5. Follow the instructions in the Add Bluetooth Device Wizard to install your Palm handheld computer.
6. If COM (serial) port numbers are listed on the Finish page of the wizard, write them down so that you can refer to them later. If no COM ports are listed, your device does not use COM ports, so you will not need that information.
7. On your computer, install the software that came with your handheld computer, including the HotSync software. During the installation, you might be asked to choose a COM port. Read the documentation for your Palm handheld computer, or go to the Palm handheld computer Web site to determine which COM port to use. If one port does not work, try the other one. If the HotSync software is already installed, click the HotSync icon on the desktop, go to Setup, and then, on the Local tab, select the COM port from the Serial Port list.
   
8. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to create the connection on your Palm handheld computer.
9. On your handheld computer, start HotSync operation and the Bluetooth connection.
10. When the synchronization connection begins, the installation will be completed.

To install a Bluetooth mouse

To install a Bluetooth mouse, you must have a mouse with a cable attached to your computer.

5. Select the My device is set up and ready to be found check box, and then click Next.
