your smartphone, you don’t need your sync
cable. This is especially useful if you travel
with an IR-enabled laptop.

on your computer:
• It has an enabled IR port or an IR device
attached to it. Check your computer’s
documentation to see if it supports IR
communication.

Windows computer, you know the
HotSync manager is active when its
icon appears in the lower-right corner of
your screen.
