your laptop. Follow these steps to set up the wireless connection.
NOTE: The PDA must be removed from the cradle when performing either dial-up connec-
tions or ActiveSync over Bluetooth. The Connection Manager will work while it is in the
cradle, however, problems can occur if the ActiveSync icon is selected when the PDA is in
the cradle.

laptop by double-clicking on the Bluetooth Connection Manager icon.
2. Select
Tools
from the menu bar. Select

with the COM port on your PDA Connection Manager (see Step 6).

port:" option.

Select COM Ports dialog in Step 2. If it does not match, change your
COM port setting to match the COM port you found in Step 2.

cradle. Click
