5.3 Synchronizing Using an Infrared
Connection
You can use an infrared connection to create a direct
connection between your PPC6600 and another mobile
device or computer quickly. This method is ideal for quickly
switching between multiple devices since there are no
cables or adapters to change. When creating a partnership,
you must connect using infrared, a cable, or a cradle
connection. For more information about synchronizing
using an infrared connection or other connection types, see
