2. Tap Local.

3. Tap the pick list below the HotSync icon and select IR to a

PC/Handheld.

Returning to cradle HotSync operations

It’s easy to return to using the cradle for HotSync operations.

To return to cradle HotSync operations:

1. If necessary, connect the cradle to a serial (COM) port of your

personal computer.

2. Click the HotSync Manager icon

in the Windows system tray.

3. Choose Setup, and then click Local.

4. Select the COM port your cradle is connected to.

5. Click OK.

Now, the next time you want to perform a HotSync operation, just
press the HotSync button on the cradle, as you always did in the past.

You can leave the HotSync application on your handheld computer
set to perform IR HotSync operations and still use the cradle. This is
useful if you perform HotSync operations with both your desktop
computer and a laptop that you travel with. When you travel, you
don’t have to carry a cradle or cable because your handheld computer
is set to perform IR HotSync operations. When you’re in the office, just
place your handheld computer in the cradle and press the HotSync
button.
