Using the Serial Infrared (IR) Connection
Your HP iPAQ has an infrared port. If your computer has an
infrared port or an infrared USB adapter, you can synchronize
your HP iPAQ and your computer using an infrared connection
instead of the sync cable. The infrared connection option only
works on computers with Microsoft Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, or
XP operating systems.
To set up an infrared connection to your computer:
1. Follow your computer manufacturer’s instructions to set up
the infrared port.
2. Line up the HP iPAQ infrared port with the computer infrared
port so they are unobstructed and within 12 inches (30 cm) of
each other.
3. On your HP iPAQ, tap Start > ActiveSync > Tools >
Connect via IR... . Synchronization begins automatically.
4. To disconnect, move the HP iPAQ and computer away from
each other, or tap the X in the upper right corner of the screen
on your device.
