Preparing your computer

There are a few steps you must perform to prepare your computer for

a modem HotSync operation. Be sure to perform these steps before

you leave your office so that your computer is ready to receive a call

from your handheld.

To prepare your computer for a modem HotSync operation:

1. Confirm that the computer modem is connected and turned on,

and that no communications applications, such as fax or telephony

software, are running on a COM port.

Note:

Make sure the computer is disconnected from all

online services, such as America Online (AOL) and

CompuServe. This helps to avoid conflicts with the

COM port.

2. Start HotSync Manager if it is not already running, and from the

HotSync Manager menu, choose

Modem.

3. Adjust the following options as needed.

1 2 ... 198 199 200 201 202 203 204 205 206 207 208 ... 297 298
