HotSync operation without using the cradle.

• Your computer is equipped with an infrared port supporting the IrDA
standards.
• The infrared port of your computer is enabled for Windows use.
To enable the IR port with Windows, see the manual of the computer you

Check the infrared port number in the Infrared Monitor in the Control
Panel. For information on the Infrared Monitor, see the manual of the
computer you are using or the Windows online help.
