HotSync operation. Be sure to perform these steps before you leave your
office so that your computer is ready to receive a call from your pda phone.

1.
Confirm that the computer modem is connected and turned on, and
that no communications applications, such as fax or telephony
software, are running on a COM port.
NOTE: Make sure that the computer is disconnected from all online
services, such as America Online (AOL) and CompuServe, to avoid
conflicts with the COM port.
2.
Start HotSync Manager if not running, and from the HotSync
Manager menu, choose

• Serial Port to identify the port for the modem. If you are unsure of
the port assignment, look at the Modem Properties in the Windows
Control Panel.
