• UNDERSTAND YOUR CONNECTION OPTIONS
You can create a connection between your PalmOS device and your phone
using either the DLR-3P cable or IR.
DLR-3P cable connection
Most PalmOS devices come with a serial cable used to connect your
device with a desktop PC or laptop computer. This cable has either a USB
male or an RS-232C female connection at one end and a special
connector that plugs into the handheld device (either directly or via a
docking cradle).
•
If your PalmOS device’s serial cable has the standard RS-232C
connector, you need only the DAN-1 (null modem adapter with RS-
232C connectors on each end) supplied in the DLR-3P accessory sales
package.
•
If your PalmOS device’s serial cable has a USB connector, you need to
purchase an additional serial cable with the standard RS-232C
connector. The manufacturer of your PalmOS device sells this cable as
an accessory. You also need the DAN-1 (null modem adapter with RS-
232C connectors on each end) supplied in this sales package.
DAN-1
This adapter is used to join your device’s serial cable to the DLR-3P cable
(as shown in the figure on the following page).
