Customizing Your Handheld

Connecting your handheld to other devices

Connection Preferences let you connect your handheld to other devices. You can use preset connection settings, modify the preset settings, or create your own connection settings from scratch. The list of preset connections varies depending on the applications you’ve added to your handheld.

For example, you can create a connection between the IR port of your handheld and a modem so that you can dial in to your ISP or corporate network. The modem can be attached to or within a mobile phone or other device containing an IR port. (Some infrared phones can act as modems. To set up a phone connection, you must have a GSM or GPRS mobile phone enabled with data services and a driver for your phone. Check www.palmOne.com for available phone drivers or contact the phone manufacturer.)

Changing the preset connection settings

The following steps show you how to adjust the communication speed in the preset IR to a PC/ Handheld connection setting. You can similarly edit other connections or settings.

1	Open Connection Preferences:
	a.	Go to Applications.
