Connecting to a PC by Infrared
You can use an infrared connection to create a direct connection between your Pocket
PC Phone and another IR-enabled mobile device or PC quickly. This method is ideal
for quickly switching between multiple devices, since there are no cables or adapters to
change. (When creating a partnership, you must connect using infrared, a cable, or a
cradle connection.)
1. Set up an infrared connection. (Install and configure an infrared port on your PC according
to the manufacturer's instructions).
2. Switch to the infrared port on your desktop computer: On the File Menu of the ActiveSync
running on your desktop PC, click Connection Settings.
3. In the Allow serial cable or infrared connection to this COM port list, select Infrared
Port (IR).
4. Align the infrared ports on your PC and your Pocket PC Phone so that they are unobstructed
and within close range.
5. On your Pocket PC Phone, select ActiveSync from the Start menu. The ActiveSync screen
appears. Select Connect via IR... from the Tools menu in this screen.
