Ways of Connecting to Your Desktop Computer
CAUTION: Do not shut down or restart your desktop computer while your Pocket PC is
connected. Turn off your Pocket PC or disconnect the cable before you shut down your
desktop computer.
You can connect your Pocket PC to a desktop computer in several ways:
Use the USB cradle or ActiveSync cable (available as an optional
accessory) (See step 8 of section 1.4 for information.)
Use the IR port in place of using a cable. IR ports can be found on many
notebook computers; however, on a desktop computer, you may need to
install and configure an IR port. To install the port, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions. (For complete instructions on connecting to
your desktop computer by infrared, refer to ActiveSync Help on your
desktop computer.)
Use a network or dial-up connection. You can synchronize while connected
to your desktop computer by a dial-up connection or over a LAN (Local
Area Network).
Synchronizing Data
Once you have created a partnership and completed the first synchronization,
you can initiate synchronization from your Pocket PC.
To Synchronize from Your Pocket PC
1. Connect your Pocket PC to your desktop computer.
2. On your Pocket PC, tap ActiveSync .
3. Tap to begin synchronization.
