Getting connected
You can use your phone to exchange
information with other mobile devices as well as
your computer, a network, or the Internet. You
have the following connection options:
• Use the infrared (IR) port on your phone to
send and receive files between two devices.
• Exchange information between devices with
Bluetooth capabilities without a physical
connection.
• Connect to your Internet service provider
(ISP) or the network at your company. Once
connected, you can send and receive e-mail
and instant messages, browse the Internet or
intranet, and synchronise information using
ActiveSync.
• Connect to your computer to synchronise
remotely. Once connected, you can
synchronise information such as your Pocket
Outlook data. For details on ActiveSync, see
Chapter 4 "Synchronising information."

Beaming using infrared
connections
Your phone can send and receive files to and
from other IR devices. In most cases, you can
also receive files from your computer when it is
equipped with an infrared 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:
• Transfer only one file at a time. No more than
25 contacts should be transferred at once.
• Make sure that the infrared port windows are
clear and free of any dirt or obstructions and
that there are no obstacles between the
infrared port windows.
• Adjust the room lighting or move to another
location. Some types of lighting may interfere
with transmission.
