Connecting by serial connection

The HP Jornada uses a serial connection to communicate with a desktop PC. Use the sync cable that was included with your HP Jornada to connect the docking cradle or the device to a 9-pin serial communications port on your desktop PC. If the 9-pin serial port on your PC is in use by another device, or if your computer has no 9-pin serial port, you can obtain an adapter from your computer’s manufacturer.
