Using ActiveSync
Using the Serial Infrared (IR) Connection
As an alternative to using the HP iPAQ cradle or Exchange
ActiveSync, you can synchronize your HP iPAQ and your
computer using an 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 98SE, Me, 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 HP
iPAQ cradle 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 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 > ActiveSync >
Tools > 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.
