IR HotSync operations
Your handheld is equipped with an infrared (IR) port that supports
the IrCOMM implementation of the standards for infrared
communication established by the Infrared Data Association (IrDA).
This means that you can beam data to any other device that supports
the IrCOMM implementation of the IrDA standards. Most
importantly, you can use the IR port to perform HotSync operations.
When you use the IR port on your handheld to perform HotSync
operations, you don’t need your cradle. You simply enable infrared
communication on your computer and your handheld and then
perform an IR HotSync operation. So there’s no need to carry your
cradle when you’re on the road with an infrared-enabled laptop.
Preparing your computer for infrared communication
To perform an IR HotSync operation, the computer you want to
synchronize with must have an enabled infrared port or be connected
to an infrared device that supports the IrCOMM implementation of
the IrDA standards.
