Chapter 3 Connecting to your desktop PC 35

If you are traveling without your docking cradle or you need to synchronize files with your home computer while the docking cradle is connected to your office PC, you can connect your HP Jornada directly to a desktop PC using only the sync cable. (You can also connect and synchronize by infra- red. For more information, see the Connecting by infrared section in this chapter.)

To connect directly (without the docking cradle)

1.If it is attached, disconnect the telephone cable from your HP Jornada.

2.Connect the AC adapter to the DC jack on the right side of the HP Jornada, and then plug in the power cable.

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

4.Fully insert the flat end of the sync cable, arrow side up, into the serial port on your HP Jornada.
