Advanced HotSync® operations Conducting an IR HotSync operation You can use the IR (infrared) port of your CLIE handheld to perform an IR HotSync operation with a computer equipped with an IrDA (Infrared Data Association) IR port. An IR HotSync operation allows you to perform a HotSync operation without using the cradle. Before you start performing an IR HotSync operation Check the following: • Your computer's operating system is not Windows® 2000. (You cannot perform an IR HotSync operation with a computer running the Windows 2000 operating system.) • Your computer is equipped with an infrared port supporting the IrDA standards. • The infrared port of your computer is enabled for Windows use. To enable the IR port with Windows, see the manual of the computer you are using or the Windows online help. • Which port number is allocated to the infrared port. Check the infrared port number in the Infrared Monitor in the Control Panel. For information on the Infrared Monitor, see the manual of the computer you are using or the Windows online help. Preparing your computer To perform an IR HotSync operation, you have to allocate a virtual port to an IR HotSync operation. 1 Click the HotSync icon in the Windows task tray (bottom- right corner of the taskbar) and then select Local from the shortcut menu. 2 Click the HotSync icon in the Windows task tray again and then select Setup from the shortcut menu.
