Connecting your HP Jornada
You can connect your HP Jornada to a desktop or notebook computer in three
ways:
• Use a sync cable to connect to a serial or USB port.
• Use a cradle to connect to a serial or USB port.
• Use the infrared port on your Pocket PC (if the desktop or notebook
computer also has an infrared transmitter).
Each of these methods works with all models of the HP Jornada Pocket PC;
however, USB and infrared connectivity are not supported by Windows NT.
Sync cables and cradles are available in both serial and USB forms as
optional accessories.
