Synchronizing over an infrared
connection
BEFORE YOU BEGIN Check the following
on your computer:
• It must have an enabled IR port and
driver or have an IR device attached to
it. Check your computer’s
documentation to see if it supports IR
communication.
• HotSync manager must be active. On a
Windows computer, you know HotSync
manager is active when its icon appears
in the lower-right corner of your screen.
When you synchronize using your
smartphone’s IR port, you don’t need a
cable. This is especially useful if you travel
with an IR-enabled laptop.
