Chapter 3 | Connecting to your desktop PC | 35
If you are traveling without your docking cradle or you need
to synchronize files with your home computer while the
docking cradle is connected to your office PC, you can connect
your HP Jornada directly to a desktop PC using only the
sync cable. (You can also connect and synchronize by infra-
red. For more information, see the Connecting by infrared
section in this chapter.)
To connect directly (without the docking cradle)
1. If it is attached, disconnect the telephone cable from
your HP Jornada.
2. Connect the AC adapter to the DC jack on the right
side of the HP Jornada, and then plug in the power
cable.
3. Insert the 9-pin end of the sync cable into a serial
port on your desktop PC.
4. Fully insert the flat end of the sync cable, arrow side
up, into the serial port on your HP Jornada.
