Connecting and networking the Pocket
PC with other devices
The Pocket PC offers a wide range of ways to exchange data with other devices or to work in a
network.
You have already become familiar with data synchronisation via ActiveSync and an ActiveSync cable
in the "Synchronising data with ActiveSync" section. You can connect the ActiveSync cable provided
to any PC or notebook equipped with a USB port. An active ActiveSync cable for devices with a
serial port is also available as an accessory.
In addition, you also have the infrared interface, Bluetooth and, depending on the model, Wireless
LAN available to you for wireless communication. With various cards which you can purchase as
accessories (LAN card, W-LAN or modem card) you can integrate your Pocket PC in networks and
establish a connection to the Internet.
This chapter provides you with information on wireless data transfer
– via infrared interface
– via Bluetooth (depending on model)
– via Wireless LAN (depending on model)
Please see the documentation of the respective card for information on using LAN, W-LAN or
modem cards.
Safety precautions when using radio components
● Switch off the radio component when you are in a hospital or near a medical electronics
system, as the radio waves transmitted by the radio component may impair the operation of
the medical devices.
● Do not bring the Pocket PC into an operating room with the radio component switched on, as
the radio waves transmitted by the radio component may impair the operation of medical
electronic systems used there.
● Keep the Pocket PC at least 20 cm from a pacemaker with the radio components switched on,
as otherwise the proper functioning of the pacemaker can be interfered with by the radio
waves.
● The radio waves transmitted by the radio component can cause an unpleasant humming in
hearing aids.
● Switch off the radio component when you are in an aircraft or driving in a car.
● Do not bring the Pocket PC near flammable gases or into potentially explosive atmospheres
with the radio component switched on. (e.g. petrol station), as the radio waves transmitted can
cause an explosion or a fire.
