Connecting by infrared

The infrared port on your HP Jornada provides a convenient way to connect to an IrDA-equipped PC without using a cable or cradle (optional on the HP Jornada 710). Many notebook computers have built-in infrared ports; however, you may need to install and configure an infrared port on a desktop PC. To install the port, follow the manufacturer’s instructions. More information about infrared drivers for Windows 95/98 or Windows 2000 is available on the MS Windows for H/PC 2000 Web site at www.microsoft.com/mobile. (Infrared connection is not available for Windows NT.)
