38 HP Jornada 700 Series Handheld PC

Connecting by USB port

Using the cradle (optional on the HP Jornada 710) you can also make a USB connection to your desktop PC. A standard USB A-to-B cable (not included) is required in order to make a USB connection.

To connect via USB port using the docking cradle

1.Connect the flat USB "A" connector to an available USB port on your desktop PC (cable not included).

2.Slide the port cover on the back of the docking cradle to the left to expose the USB port.

3.Insert the square USB "B" connector into the USB port on the back of the docking cradle

4.Turn off your HP Jornada and disconnect any cables (telephone cable, ac adapter, sync cable, etc.) from your HP Jornada.

5.Connect the ac adapter to the dc jack on the back of the docking cradle, and then plug in the power cord.

6.Align your HP Jornada in the docking cradle, and push down firmly until the HP Jornada snaps into place.

Your HP Jornada should start automatically and establish a connection to the desktop computer. To remove your HP Jornada from the docking cradle, push the release button on the cradle, and carefully lift your HP Jornada from the cradle.

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 serial sync cable. (See Connecting by serial port earlier in this chapter.)

You can also connect and synchronize by infrared. For more information, see the Connecting by infrared section in this chapter.
