Connecting by infrared
The infrared port on your HP Jornada provides a
convenient way to connect to an IrDA-equipped PC without
using a cable or cradle (optional on the HP Jornada 710).
Many notebook computers have built-in infrared ports;
however, you may need to install and configure an infrared
port on a desktop PC. To install the port, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions. More information about
infrared drivers for Windows 95/98 or Windows 2000 is
available on the MS Windows for H/PC 2000 Web site at
www.microsoft.com/mobile
. (Infrared connection is not
available for Windows NT.)
