In addition, both the infrared interface and BLUETOOTH are available for wireless communication.
With various cards which you can purchase as accessories (LAN card, W-LAN or modem card) you

Wireless data transfer with infrared interface

The infrared interface (IrDA) on the left-hand side of your Pocket PC enables wireless serial data
transfer with up to 115 kbit/s.

For data transfer, you must align the infrared interface of your Pocket PC with that of the partner
device (e.g. PC). The devices must not be more than one metre apart. The infrared interface of one
device must be in the range of influence (horizontally approx. 30 ° and vertically approx. 15 °) of the
infrared interface of the other device.

Run the program

Infrared Receive

under

Programs

on your Pocket PC. The Pocket PC immediately

begins to search for the partner device (infrared transmitter) and informs you on any infrared
interface found.

If the infrared partner device has not been found, point the device in another direction and then run
the program

Infrared Receive

again.
