Synchronizing with the Infrared Connection
As an alternative to using the desktop cradle or autosync cable, you can
synchronize your HP iPAQ and your computer using the infrared
connection if you have an infrared port or an infrared USB adapter
installed on your computer. The infrared connection option works only on
computers that have Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP operating systems
installed.
To set up an infrared connection to a computer:
1.
Synchronize your HP iPAQ with your computer using the desktop
cradle or autosync cable
before
the first time you establish an
ActiveSync connection via infrared.
2.
Follow your computer manufacturer’s instructions to install and set
up an infrared port.
3.
Remove the HP iPAQ from the cradle or autosync cable and line up
the infrared port with the computer infrared port so they are
unobstructed and within 12 inches (30.5 cm) of each other.
4.
Initiate a connection by tapping
Start > Programs >
ActiveSync >
Menu
> Connect via IR.
Synchronization
begins on your device.
5.
To disconnect, move the devices away from each other or tap
X
in
the upper right of the screen to turn off.
