Getting connected

You can use your phone to exchange information with other
mobile devices as well as your desktop computer, a
network, or the Internet. You have the following connection
options:
• Use the infrared (IR) port on your device to send and
receive files between two devices.
• Exchange information between devices with Bluetooth
capabilities without a physical connection.
• Connect the phone to your computer using a USB or
IrDA connection to use the phone as a modem.
• Connect to your Internet service provider (ISP) or the
network at your company. Once connected, you can
send or receive e-mail and instant messages, and
browse the Internet or intranet.
• Connect to your desktop computer to synchronise
remotely. Once connected, you can synchronise data
such as your Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, or Inbox data.
For details on ActiveSync, see Chapter 3
"Synchronising information."
Your phone can send and receive files to and from other IR
devices. In most cases, you can also receive files from your
PC when it is equipped with an IR port. The two devices
must be aimed at each other approximately four inches
apart.
If you have difficulty getting the two devices to send or
receive data, try the following:
• Make sure that the IR port windows are clear and free
of any dirt or obstructions and that there are no
obstacles between the IR port windows.
