Getting Connected
You can use your device to exchange information with other mobile
devices as well as your computer, a network, or the Internet. You have the
following connection options:
• Use the infrared (IR) port on your device to send and receive files
between two devices. If this is the method you want to use, see the fol-
lowing section “Transfer Items Using Infrared.”
• Connect to your Internet account provider (ISP). Once connected, you
can send and receive email messages by using Inbox and view Web
or WAP pages by using Microsoft® Pocket Internet Explorer. The com-
munication software for creating an ISP connection is already installed
on your device. Your account provider will provide software needed to
install other accounts, such as paging and fax accounts. If this is the
method you want to use, see “Connect to an Internet Account Pro-
vider” later in this chapter.
• Connect to the network at your company or organization where you
work. Once connected, you can send and receive email messages by
using Inbox, view Web or WAP pages by using Pocket Internet
Explorer, and synchronize with your computer. If this is the method
you want to use, see "Connect to Work" on page 102.
• Connect to your computer to synchronize remotely. Once connected,
you can synchronize information such as your Pocket Outlook infor-
mation. If this is the method you want to use, see ActiveSync Help on
your computer or Connections Help on the device.

Transfer Items Using Infrared

Using infrared (IR), you can send and receive information, such as con-
tacts and appointments, between two devices.
To send information:
1. Switch to the program where you created the item you want to send
and locate the item in the list.
2. Align the IR ports so that they are unobstructed and within a close
range.
