To connect via serial port using the docking
cradle (optional on the HP Jornada 710)
1. Connect the 9-pin end of the sync cable to a serial port
on your desktop PC.
2. Slide the port cover on the back of the docking cradle to
the right to expose the Serial port.
3. Fully insert the flat end of the sync cable, arrow side
up, into the serial port on the back of the docking cradle.
4. Turn off your HP Jornada and disconnect any cables
(telephone cable, ac adapter, sync cable, etc.) from your
HP Jornada.
5. Connect the ac adapter to the dc jack on the back of the
docking cradle, and then plug in the power cord.
Do not connect your HP Jornada to more than one source of ac
power. You must disconnect the ac adapter from your HP
Jornada before placing in it in the docking cradle to avoid
damaging your HP Jornada.
6. Align your HP Jornada in the docking cradle, and push
down firmly until the HP Jornada snaps into place.
