Preparing your personal computer
There are a few steps you must perform to prepare your personal
computer for a modem HotSync operation. Be sure to perform these
steps before you leave your office so that your computer is ready to
receive a call from your handheld computer.
To prepare your personal computer for a modem HotSync operation:
1. Confirm that the computer modem is connected and turned on,
and that no communications applications, such as fax or telephony
software, are running on a COM port.
Note: Make sure the personal computer is disconnected from all
online services, such as America Online (AOL) and
CompuServe. This helps to avoid conflicts with the
COM port.
2. Start HotSync Manager if it is not already running, and from the
HotSync Manager menu, choose Modem.
3. Adjust the following options as needed.
