Conducting IR HotSync operations

You can use the infrared (IR) port on your handheld to perform HotSync
operations. When you perform an IR HotSync operation, you don't need your
cradle/cable. However, you must have a computer that's equipped with an IR port
and that supports the IrCOMM implementation of the Infrared Data Association
(IrDA) standards. This is especially useful if you travel with an infrared-enabled
laptop. You simply enable infrared communication on your laptop and handheld
and follow the steps in

Preparing your computer for infrared communication

Before you can perform a HotSync operation using the IR port, the computer with
