Your HP Jornada 700 Series Handheld PC works perfectly as a
standalone computer. But to get the most out of your
HP Jornada, you will want to connect to your desktop or notebook
PC. This chapter describes how to establish a connection between
your HP Jornada and a desktop PC, and how to use your HP
Jornada with a desktop PC—or with any PC that has Microsoft
ActiveSync installed. You will learn to:
• Connect to your desktop PC
• Set up Microsoft ActiveSync
• Establish a partnership between your HP Jornada and your
desktop PC
• Use Microsoft ActiveSync to browse the contents of your
HP Jornada
• Synchronize Microsoft Pocket Outlook data and e-mail
messages with Microsoft Outlook or Exchange
• Transfer files between your HP Jornada and a desktop PC
• Connect to and transfer files between your HP Jornada and a
corporate network or home desktop PC over the Internet or by
telephone line

You can connect your HP Jornada to a desktop PC using a serial
connection (with either the docking cradle—optional for the HP
Jornada 710—or the serial sync cable), a USB connection (using
the cradle only, USB A-to-B cable not included) or a network
connection (with an optional PC Card network interface card).
You can also connect to an infrared-equipped desktop or notebook
PC (using the infrared port). Before you connect, you must install
Microsoft ActiveSync on the desktop PC. Then, you can connect
your HP Jornada and establish a partnership.
