I tried to do a modem
HotSync operation,
but it did not
complete
successfully.
(continued) Check the following on your PC
companion:
■
Confirm that the telephone cable is
securely attached to your modem.
■
Make sure the dialing instruction dials
the correct phone number.
■
If you need to dial an outside line prefix,
make sure you selected the Dial Prefix
option on your PC companion and
entered the correct code.
■
If the telephone line you are using has
Call Waiting, make sure you selected
the Disable call waiting option under
Modem Sync Phone Setup on your PC
companion and entered the correct
code.
■
Make sure the telephone line you are
using is not noisy, which can interrupt
communications.
■
Check the batteries in your modem and
replace them if necessary.
I can’t perform an IR
HotSync operation.
■
Be sure the HotSync Manager is running
and the Serial Port for local operations is
set to the simulated port for infrared
communication. See “IR HotSync
operations” in Chapter 7 for details.
■
On your PC companion, be sure the
HotSync application is set to Local, with
the option IR to PC/Handheld.
■
Be sure the IR port of your PC
companion is aligned directly opposite
to, and within a few inches of, the
infrared device of your computer.
■
IR HotSync operations do not work after
you receive a low battery warning.
Check the battery power of your PC
companion. Recharge the internal
battery.
