# Synchronizing Evolution with Hand-Held Devices

This chapter is very short. It describes how to synchronize the data on your Palm-OS device with the data you store in Ximian Evolution. If you need information on how to set up handheld synchronization, consult config-sync.

## Using HotSync

Put your hand-held device in its cradle and press the HotSync button.

### Palm OS v. 4.0 with Passwords

If you use Palm OS v. 4.0 and have password protection turned on for your handheld device, you may encounter trouble synchronizing. If this happens, try turning off password protection on your handheld, synchronize it with your desktop computer, and then re-enable password protection on your handheld.

If you have followed the set up instructions properly, your Palm-OS device will synchronize data with Ximian Evolution.

That's it.
