Getting Connected
You can use your device 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. If this is the method you want to use,
see the following section "Transfer Items Using Infrared."
• Connect to your Internet service provider (ISP). Once connected, you can send and receive e-mail messages by using Inbox
and view Web or WAP pages by using Microsoft® Pocket Internet Explorer. The communication software for creating an ISP
connection is already installed on your device. Your service provider will provide software needed to install other services,
such as paging and fax services.
• Connect to your desktop computer to synchronize remotely. Once connected, you can synchronize information such as your
Pocket Outlook information. If this is the method you want to use, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer or
Connections Help on the device.

Transfer Items Using Infrared

Using infrared (IR), you can send and receive information, such as contacts and appointments, between two Windows-equipped
devices.
To send information:
1. Open the program where you created the item you want to send and locate the item in the list.
2. Align the IR ports so that they are unobstructed and within a close range.
3. Tap and hold the item, and tap Beam Item on the pop-up menu.
Note: You can also send items, but not folders, from File Explorer. Tap and hold the item you want to send, and then tap Beam
File on the pop-up menu.
To receive information:
1. Align the IR ports so that they are unobstructed and within a close range.
2. Have the owner of the other device send the information to you. Your device will automatically receive it.
Note: For IR receive to work automatically, you must first check Receive all incoming beams and select discoverable mode
checkbooks in Start>Settings>Connections>Beam. If this box is not checked, select Start>Programs>Infrared Receive
before receiving data from another device.
