Bluetooth connection to the BTW system.

6) Using the BTW dialogs, determine what Virtual COMM (VCOMM) port will be

assigned to the BTW side of the SPP link

7) Configure the HotSync manager on the PC to use the VCOMM port that you uncovered

8) Select some files to HotSync on your PC. Use the Handpring organizer software to

queue them up for HotSync.

9) Initiate a HotSync from the Visor side.

10) When the HotSync is finished, terminate the SPP link by shutting down the

BlueConnect card on the Visor.
