4.1.3 Connecting Via Infrared
Making an infrared connection is a fast and convenient way of synching your Pocket PC without
making a USB connection via the USB cable or USB cradle. Infrared ports are included on many
mobile PCs, although they are less common on desktop systems.
To transfer files or PIM data via infrared port:
1. Ensure that the IR Port on your Pocket PC has a good line of sight to the IR Port on the device
you are attempting to connect to. The second device could be a second PDA or a PC with IR port.
The distance between IR ports should be less than 30 cm.
2. Tap and hold the file or data you need to transfer to the other device. When the pop-up menu is
displayed, tap "Beam Files" to start the process.
3. The transfer will take a little time. When the transmission is complete, the display will show
"done".
Refer to the ActiveSync online help About Beaming for details on beaming files and enabling your
infrared connection.
