IR HotSync operations Your handheld is equipped with an infrared (IR) port that supports the IrCOMM implementation of the standards for infrared communication established by the Infrared Data Association (IrDA). This means that not only can you beam data to another Palm OS handheld that's equipped with an IR port, but you can also beam data to a mobile phone and any other device that supports the IrCOMM implementation of the IrDA standards. Most importantly, you can use the IR port to perform HotSync operations; you don't need your cradle/cable. This is especially useful if you travel with an infrared-enabled laptop. You simply enable infrared communication on your laptop and handheld and follow the steps in "Performing an IR HotSync operation" later in this section. Preparing your computer for infrared communication Before you can perform a HotSync operation using the IR port, the computer with which you want to synchronize must fulfill these requirements: s Your computer must support the IrCOMM implementation of the IrDA standards. s Your computer must have an enabled infrared port that's built into the computer, or an enabled infrared device attached to the computer. 130
