Connecting by serial connection
The HP Jornada uses a serial connection to communicate
with a desktop PC. Use the sync cable that was included
with your HP Jornada to connect the docking cradle or the
device to a 9-pin serial communications port on your desktop
PC. If the 9-pin serial port on your PC is in use by another
device, or if your computer has no 9-pin serial port, you can
obtain an adapter from your computers manufacturer.
