Insert the 9-pin end of the travel cable into a serial port
on your desktop PC.

2.

Plug the travel cable into the HP Jornada and connect to
AC power.

3.

Turn on the P/PC. ActiveSync checks the communication
port, and starts the New Partnership Wizard, which
leads you through the steps listed in the next section.

You can also connect to a desktop PC using an infrared port (if
the desktop PC also has an infrared port). F or m ore
information, see the Connecting by infrared section in this
chapter.
