Conducting infrared HotSync operations
You can use the infrared (IR) port on your handheld to perform HotSync
operations. When you perform an IR HotSync operation, you don’t need your
cable.
NOTE
You may experience problems attempting to synchronize large amounts of
information using an infrared HotSync operation. The operation may time out before
all the information has been synchronized.
Preparing your computer for infrared communication
Before you can perform a HotSync operation using the IR port, the computer with
which you want to synchronize must fulfill these requirements:
■
Your computer must support the IrCOMM implementation of the
Infrared Data Association (IrDA) standards.
■
Your computer must have an enabled IR port that’s built into the computer, or
an enabled infrared device attached to the computer.
■
Some desktop computers may require an infrared device attached to a physical
COM port. Laptops are likely to have a built-in IR port, so no external device is
necessary.
■
Your computer must have an installed infrared driver.
■
If you have an external infrared device attached to your computer, a driver is
probably included with the device. Consult the documentation included with
the device for information on installing the required driver.
Check your computer’s documentation to learn if the computer supports infrared
communication.
