Returning to cable HotSync operations

It’s easy to return to using the cable for HotSync operations. You can even leave the HotSync application on your handheld set to perform IR HotSync operations and still use the cable. This is useful if you perform HotSync operations with both your desktop computer and a laptop that you travel with. When you travel, you don’t have to carry the cable because your handheld is set to perform IR HotSync operations. When you’re in the office, just connect your handheld to the cable and press the HotSync button.

To return to cable HotSync operations on a Windows computer:

1.If needed, connect the cable to a serial (COM) port on your computer.

2.Click the HotSync Manager icon in the Windows system tray.

3.Choose Setup, and then click Local.

4.Select the COM port where your cable is connected.

5.Click OK.
