Connecting Your Phone to an External Device
Connect your phone to an external device (such as a computer or hand-held device) using a serial cable
or a USB cable.
Set Up a Cable Connection
Attach a serial cable or Motorola Original USB cable to the phone and external device as follows.
Notes:
• Check your computer or hand-held device to determine the type of cable you need.
• To conserve power, some laptops deactivate unused serial ports. If this happens, open an
application that uses the serial port, like fax or dial-up networking, and your computer will
automatically activate the port.
