CHAPTER 1
Using Phone Link
Phone Link helps you configure a connection between your handheld and
a compatible mobile phone. You can connect to a compatible mobile phone
using any of the following methods:
Infrared communication: A wireless link that enables you to connect to an
infrared-enabled mobile phone within 1 meter (approximately 39 inches) of
your handheld. The infrared ports on the two devices must be aligned, and the
path between the two devices must be clear of obstacles. See the electronic
handbook that came with your handheld for more information about your
handheld’s infrared capabilities.
A serial cable connection: A wire-based link that connects your handheld to a
mobile phone with a physical cable.
Bluetooth™ technology: This connection option may not be available for all
handhelds. Bluetooth connections require a Bluetooth card which is sold
separately. This card may not be available for all handhelds. For more
information on connecting your handheld and your phone using this
technology, consult your Bluetooth accessory documentation.
Serial cables and mobile phones that are enabled with infrared or Bluetooth
technology are sold separately.
What can you do with a phone connection?
When your handheld is linked to a mobile phone and your mobile phone carrier
supports the required services, you can do the following:
Access the Internet: Use a high-speed wireless data service (such as GPRS), or
data services and an Internet service provider (ISP) dial-up account, to access
the Internet. To browse the web, you must install a web browser application on
your handheld. This browser may not be included on your handheld. If your
handheld came with a web browser, see that documentation for more
information.
Check and send e-mail: Use a high-speed wireless data service, or data services
and a dial-up connection, to access your POP3 or IMAP e-mail account. To use
the e-mail features, you must install an e-mail application such as the Palm™
VersaMail™ application on your handheld. See the Palm™ VersaMail™ Personal
E-mail Software Handbook or other e-mail application handbook that came with
your handheld for information.
