I tried to do a modem HotSync operation, but it did not complete successfully. (continued) Check the following on your organizer: s Confirm that the telephone cable is securely attached to your modem. s Make sure the dialing instruction dials the correct phone number. s If you need to dial an outside line prefix, make sure you selected the Dial Prefix option on your organizer and entered the correct code. s If the telephone line you are using has Call Waiting, make sure you selected the Disable call waiting option under Modem Sync Phone Setup on your organizer and entered the correct code. s Make sure the telephone line you are using is not noisy, which can interrupt communications. s Check the batteries in your modem and replace them if necessary. I can't perform an IR HotSync operation. s Be sure the HotSync Manager is running and the Serial Port for local operations is set to the simulated port for infrared communication. s On your organizer, be sure the HotSync application is set to Local, with the option IR to a PC/Handheld. s Be sure the IR port of your organizer is aligned directly opposite to, and within a few inches of, the infrared device of your computer. s IR HotSync operations do not work after you receive a low battery warning. Check the battery power of your organizer. Recharge the internal battery. Appendix B Page 207
