NEC MOBILEPRO 900 - Manual (Page 36)

1-28 Getting Started
4. Check the device manager on your host PC to identify potential
conflicts for the infrared port.
! Double click the System icon, select the Hardware tab, and
select the Device Manager button.
! Check the Ports listing to determine if any conflicts exist
(another device is assigned to or is using the infrared port).
The port may be flagged with an exclamation point, for
example, if any conflicts exist.
! If another device is assigned to or is using the infrared port,
you must reassign the device to free up the infrared port for
MobilePro synchronization.
5. Reboot your host PC.
Once the system restarts, an infrared icon (gray vertical bar with a
red bump) appears in the system taskbar. If there is an X to the
right of the icon, infrared is not enabled. Repeat steps 1-4 to
enable infrared.
Installing Microsoft ActiveSync
You must install Microsoft ActiveSync on your host PC to enable
synchronization with your MobilePro. The Microsoft ActiveSync 3.1
CD that ships with your MobilePro contains the ActiveSync software
designed for synchronization with Microsoft Office components. The
following procedure assumes Microsoft Outlook as the host PC
synchronization component.
Note
The Microsoft ActiveSync software contains ActiveSync 3.1.
Host PC systems with the Microsoft Windows XP operating system
require ActiveSync 3.5.
You can download ActiveSync 3.5 from the NEC Solutions America
support site (
www.necsolutions-am.com/support, select Handhelds and
Upgrade to Microsoft ActiveSync 3.5 ) or from the Microsoft Web site
( www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc/downloads/activesync35.asp ).
