Special Communications Applications

Certain built-in or optional applications allow your unit to
serve as a powerful hand-held data communications
tool. Connecting to a variety of information services or
networks via telephone or cellular phone lets you stay in
touch with the world, wherever you are.

Remote Link

Remote Link allows you to exchange information
between your unit and a PC, more flexibly than
ever. This gives you greater control and security for
your data, and is especially valuable for people
who spend a lot of time on the road and away from
their office PC.
Optional Remote Link software for your personal
computer is required to use the Remote Link
function.
• Remote File Access lets your unit directly access
your PC's data via a remote connection, eg. a
cellular phone.
• Enhanced Import/Export utilities now allow you to
exchange data with a PC via the Infrared link in a
wide variety of standard file formats.
• Direct Import/Export utilities let you read or write
data for popular PC applications, including
Microsoft WORD and EXCEL, for full compatibil-
ity with your PC.
• For details, see the Remote Link software
manual.

information access.
Terminal mode provides a wide range of data
communication settings and methods, allowing you
