Connecting by sync cable
The HP Jornada uses a serial connection to communicate
with a desktop PC. The serial connection is established with
the sync cable that was included with your HPJornada and
a 9-pin serial communications port on your desktop PC.
If you do not have a 9-pin serial port on your desktop PC, or
if the port is in use by another device, such as a printer or
modem, you may need to obtain an adapter from your
computer manufacturer.
To connect your HP Jornada to your desktop PC
1. Insert the 9-pin end of the sync cable into a
serial port on your desktop PC.
2. Fully insert the flat end of the sync cable,
arrow side up, into the serial port on the
right side of your HP Jornada.
Fully insert the flat end of the sync cable, arrow side up,
into the serial port.
