chapter
Your C-Series handheld PC acts much like a "computer
assistant"—it supplements the capabilities of your regularly used
computer when you cannot be at your desk. The handheld PC
does this through "partnering" with your regular computer. A
partnership is the process of establishing a connection with your
regularly used computer for the purpose of synchronizing and
transferring data between the computer and the handheld PC.
Forming a partnership involves five steps, each of which is
discussed in this chapter:
Step 1: Determine computer requirements
Step 2: Install Windows CE Services on the computer
Step 3: Configure the computer's communications port
Step 4: Connect the handheld PC to the computer
Step 5: Install the Compaq C-Series software
Additional information on forming a partnership can be found in
Microsoft's Handheld PC Companion and in the Windows CE
Services Help that you installed on your computer.
