inside the System folder. Next, open the HotSync Software Setup window, and be sure that
HotSync Manager is enabled
and that the Local Setup Port is set to Infrared Port.

First check your computer’s documentation to see if your computer supports IR communication. If
it does not, you cannot synchronize your handheld with your computer using the IR port.
If your computer does support IR communication, follow these steps:
1. Click the HotSync Manager icon in the taskbar in the lower-right corner of your screen.
2. Make sure that Local Serial is selected.
3. Select Setup.
4. Click the Local tab.
5. In the Serial Port drop-down box, select the port your computer uses for infrared
communication. See the documentation for your operating system for instructions on finding
this port. This information is usually located in the Control Panel.
6. Click OK.

infrared devices. Consult the documentation for your operating system for information about
