You can connect your HP Jornada to a desktop or notebook computer in three

ways:

•

Use a sync cable to connect to a serial port.

•

Use a serial cradle to connect to a serial port.

•

Use the infrared port on your Pocket PC (if the desktop or notebook

computer also has an infrared transmitter).

Each of these methods works with all models of the HP Jornada Pocket PC.

Serial sync cradle and additional sync cables are available as optional

accessories. Both serial and infrared connections work with Windows 95,

Windows 98, and Windows 2000. Windows NT supports serial connection, but

does not support connection by infrared.

Serial connections require a 9-pin serial communications (COM) port on your

desktop PC. If the 9-pin serial port is in use by another device, or if your

desktop PC has no 9-pin serial port, obtain an adapter from your computer’s

manufacturer.

If a sync cable was not included with your HP Jornada, you can purchase a

serial cable as an optional accessory. For more information, see the HP

Jornada Accessories Guide.

1. Connect the sync cable to a serial port on your desktop PC.

2. Connect the other end of the sync cable to your HP Jornada. Your

HP Jornada should start automatically and establish a connection to

the desktop PC.
