Using the Serial Infrared (IR) Connection

The infrared connection option only works on computers with Microsoft Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, or XP operating systems.

To set up an infrared connection to your computer:

1.Follow your computer manufacturer’s instructions to set up the infrared port.

2.Line up the HP iPAQ infrared port with the computer infrared port so they are unobstructed and within 12 in. (30 cm) of each other.

3.On your HP iPAQ, tap Start > ActiveSync > Tools > Connect via IR... . Synchronization begins automatically.

4.To disconnect, move the HP iPAQ and computer away from each other, or tap the X in the upper right corner of the screen on your device.
