Page 172 Setting Preferences for Your Organizer
Connection preferences
The Connection Preferences screen enables you to define the settings
used to perform different types of HotSync operations. The screen
displays a list of available configurations that are ready to be further
defined; the list varies depending on the kind of software you’ve
added to your organizer.
For example, a modem connection appears on the list. If you have this
modem, you only need to specify the phone setup (and network
connection — if required) to complete the configuration.
Note: You can purchase a modem for use w ith yo u r or ganizer. See

You can also create custom configurations. There are four possible
kinds of connections.
