Connecting by infrared

You can use the infrared port on the HP Jornada to connect to a desktop or notebook PC that is running Windows 95 (or later). Once connected, you can transfer files and synchronize data and e-mail messages just as if you had connected using the sync cable.

Line up the IR ports on the two devices so that they are within 20 centimeters (8 inches) of one another.

Before you can connect by infrared, you must set up and configure an infrared port on your desktop or notebook PC. Many notebook PCs have a built-in infrared port; however, you may need to install a third-party infrared transceiver on your desktop PC. For more information about installing and configuring that device for use with your desktop PC, refer to the instructions that came with your infrared port.

The Desktop Software for Microsoft Windows CE compact disk also includes infrared device drivers for Windows 95.

To configure Windows CE Services for infrared connection

1.Insert the Desktop Software for Microsoft Windows CE compact disk into the CD-ROM drive on your desktop PC, and then run Setup.exe.

2.Click Optional Components, and then select the Windows 95 Communications Driver setup program.
