Connecting to Your PC

CAUTION: Do not shut down or restart your PC while your V35 is connected. Turn off your V35 or disconnect the USB cable before you shut down your PC.

Connecting by USB Cable

CAUTION: Before you connect your V35 to the cradle, be sure of the

following: your PC is on, you have installed ActiveSync on your PC, and ActiveSync is configured to allow a USB connection.

You can keep your V35 in the cradle when you are not carrying it with you, which keeps it charged and synchronized.

For instructions on connecting, see “Connecting Your PC” in Chapter 1.

Connecting by Infrared

You can use the IR port to synchronize data with your PC, in place of using the cable.

IR ports can be found on many notebook computers; however, on a PC, you may need to install and configure an IR port. To install the port, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

For complete instructions on connecting to your PC by infrared, refer to ActiveSync Help on your PC.
