Advanced HotSync® operations Conducting an IR HotSync operation You can use the IR (infrared) port of your CLIÉ 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 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. • The port number that 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 must allocate a virtual port to an IR HotSync operation. Note When performing a local HotSync operation with the cradle after you make the HotSync Setup settings for an IR HotSync operation, you must restore the local HotSync settings. For details, see "To restore the local HotSync settings" on page 118. Windows 98 Second Edition/Windows Me users: 1 Click the HotSync icon in the Windows task tray (bottom- right corner of the taskbar), and select Local Serial from the shortcut menu. 2 Click the HotSync icon in the Windows task tray again, and select Setup from the shortcut menu. The setup dialog box is displayed. Continued on next page Chapter3 Exchanging and updating data using a HotSync® operation 116
