Chapter 7:
Getting Connected
You can use your device to exchange information with other mobile de-
vices as well as your computer, a network, or the Internet. You have the
following connection options:
• Use the infrared (IR) port on your device to send and receive files
between two devices. If this is the method you want to use, see the
following section “Transfer Items Using Infrared.”
• Connect to your Internet service provider (ISP). Once connected, you
can send and receive e-mail messages by using Inbox and view Web
or WAP pages by using Microsoft
®
Pocket Internet Explorer. The com-
munication software for creating an ISP connection is already installed
on your device. Your service provider will provide software needed to
install other services, such as paging and fax services. If this is the
method you want to use, see “Connect to an Internet Service Pro-
vider” later in this chapter.
• Connect to the network at your company or organization where you
work. Once connected, you can send and receive e-mail messages by
using Inbox, view Web or WAP pages by using Pocket Internet Ex-
plorer, and synchronize with your computer. If this is the method you
want to use, see “Connect to Work” later in this chapter.
• Connect to your computer to synchronize remotely. Once connected,
you can synchronize information such as your Pocket Outlook infor-
mation. If this is the method you want to use, see ActiveSync Help on
your computer or Connections Help on the device.
