This chapter explains how you can use your Intermec Model 70 Pocket PC to exchange information with other Windows-powered devices as well as your desktop computer, a network, or the Internet.

Connecting the Pocket PC

There are many different ways you can connect the Pocket PC to your desktop computer, network, or the Internet. You can

•Directly connect to a desktop computer using a cradle or an auto-sync cable. For help, see the ActiveSync online help on your desktop computer.

•Connect to your desktop computer to synchronize remotely. For help, see the ActiveSync online help on your desktop computer or the Connections online help on the Pocket PC.

•Connect to another infrared-equipped device. For help, see “Transferring Data Using Infrared” later in this chapter.

•Connect to your Internet service provider (ISP) using a modem card. The communication software for creating an ISP connection is already installed on your Pocket PC. Your service provider will provide software needed to install other services, such as paging and fax services. For help, see “Connecting to an ISP Through a Modem” later in this chapter.

•Connect to the network at your company or organization using an Ethernet card. For help, see “Connecting to a Network” later in this chapter.

Precautions for Products with Modems, Telecommunications, or Local Area Network Options

Be sure to observe the following precautions when operating telecommunications and network equipment. Failure to observe these precautions could result in fire, bodily injury, and damage to the equipment.

•Never connect or use a modem or telephone in a wet location.
