30 HP Jornada 540 Series User’s Guide

Serial connections require a 9-pin serial communications (COM) port on your desktop PC. If the 9-pin serial port is in use by another device, or if your desktop PC has no 9-pin serial port, obtain an adapter from your computer’s manufacturer.

2.Connect the cable from the cradle to a serial or USB port on your desktop PC.

3.Slide your HP Jornada into the cradle. Your HP Jornada should start automatically and establish a connection to the desktop PC.
