Make sure that your Palm or Palm OS compatible device falls within the guidelines of the following requirements:


  1. Palm OS compatible device running OS 3.1 or higher.

When prompted click on the "Save to Disk" option. Your system will ask you to select the folder on your PC or Mac in which you would like to store your Completely at Home software. Choose a folder and note the name for later use (consult your Windows manual or most easily accessible Windows guru for information as to how to create a new folder).


Note: Depending on the speed of your Internet connection, download time may vary.

Once downloaded, the file needs to be extracted (you do not need any additional software to do this). Simply double-click on the file you just saved and the palm application (a '.prc' file) should be available. This is the file necessary for installation.

2. Now that the installation software has been downloaded you are ready to install the Completely at Home application on to your Palm Device. Simply start up your Palm Desktop software on your computer.

3. Select the install button with the Palm Desktop application. A window labeled 'Palm Install Tool' should open.

4. Select 'Add' within the Palm Install Tool window and select the RightAtHomeDaily.prc file you just downloaded. After completing this, select 'Done''

5. The application will be installed on your Palm device during your next HotSync.
