4.1.2.2 Docking the WayPoint PDA in the USB Cradle
To dock your WayPoint PDA in the USB cradle, first make sure that the USB cradle contacts, as
well as the contacts on the base of the WayPoint PDA, are clean and unobstructed. Place the
WayPoint PDA in the cradle and gently push the device onto the cradle contacts.
Do not shut down or restart your PC while the WayPoint PDA is connected. Turn off the WayPoint
PDA or remove it from the USB cradle before shutting down your PC.
4.1.3 Connecting Via Infrared
Making an infrared connection is a fast and convenient way of synching your WayPoint PDA without
making a USB connection via the USB cable or USB cradle. Infrared ports are included on many
mobile PCs, although they are less common on desktop systems.
To transfer files or PIM data via infrared port:
1. Ensure that the IR Port on your WayPoint PDA has a good line of sight to the IR Port on the
device you are attempting to connect to. The second device could be a second PDA or a PC with
IR port. The distance between IR ports should be less than 30 cm.
2. Tap and hold the file or data you need to transfer to the other device. When the pop-up menu is
displayed, tap "
Beam Files
" to start the process.
3. The transfer will take a little time. When the transmission is complete, the display will show
"done".
Refer to the ActiveSync online help

for details on beaming files and enabling your
infrared connection.
