  • Page 133 Appendix B | Migrating data from non–Windows CE HP handheld PC devices | 129 If your data is stored on an HP 100/200LX Palmtop PC or an HP OmniGo Organizer, you must first transfer the data to your desktop PC. Use the Hewlett-Packard PIM Translation Utility (for HP devices only) to import the data into Microsoft Outlook or Schedule+ 7.0a on your desktop PC.
  • Page 134 As long as you do not edit imported repeating weekly or monthly events in Schedule+ before you synchronize them with the HP Jornada, they translate correctly into repeating events on the HP Jornada. If, however, you edit them in Schedule+, they lose their weekly/monthly attribute and are treated as single events.
  • Page 135 You can add or modify the suggested mappings before translating the data. For example, if you have customized the name of a Phone Book field so that the HP PIM Translation Utility does not know how to map it, you can define a mapping for it yourself.
  • Page 136 Status screen. Click the Status button on the Welcome screen to see the history of any translations begun during the current execution of the HP PIM Translation Utility.
