Connecting to another PC
You can follow the procedure for connecting to another
(non-partner) PC when:
• you need to connect your P/PC to a desktop PC other than
your partner
• your desktop PC does not recognize your P/PC as its partner
The other desktop PC must have ActiveSync installed.
To connect to a non-partner PC
1. Physically connect the HP Jornada to a PC. The New
Partnership Wizard begins automatically.
2. In the Set Up a Partnership screen, select No, I don’t
want to synchronize information, and then click the
Next button. You are connected as a guest.
As a guest, you can browse, move, and copy files. When you
disconnect your P/PC from the desktop PC, the settings selected
in ActiveSync for the guest P/PC are deleted.
Your desktop PC will not recognize your P/PC if you log on to
the desktop PC with a different user name, if you perform a
full reset of the HP Jornada by removing all power, or if you
allow the batteries to die.
You can establish partnerships between the HP Jornada and
up to two desktop PCs (for example, your home and your office
PC).
A single desktop PC can partner with any number of H/PCs or
P/PCs. This is useful if you have more than one computer
running Windows CE or if a single desktop PC is shared.
