Synchronizing over an infrared connection

When you synchronize using the IR port on your Centro, you don’t need your sync cable. This is especially useful if you travel with an IR-enabled laptop.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN Verify the following on your computer:

•It has an enabled IR port or an IR device attached to it. Check your computer’s documentation to see if it supports IR communication.

•HotSync manager is active. On a Windows computer, you know HotSync manager is active when its icon appears in the lower-right corner of your screen.

WINDOWS ONLY

1On your computer, click HotSync manager in the taskbar in the lower-right corner of your screen. Make sure that Infrared is selected.

2On your Centro, press

Applications and select HotSync .

3Select Local.

4Select the pick list below the HotSync icon and select IR to a PC/Handheld.

5Position the IR port on your Centro within a few inches of your computer’s IR port.

6Select the HotSync icon on your Centro.

When synchronization is complete, a message appears at the top of your Centro screen. Be patient; synchronization may take a few minutes.
