Your phone 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 you 
can beam data to any other device that supports the IrCOMM 
implementation of the IrDA standards. Most importantly, you can use the 
IR port to perform HotSync operations. When you use the IR port on your 
phone to perform HotSync operations, you don’t need your HotSync 
cable. You simply enable infrared communication on your computer and 
your phone and then perform an IR HotSync operation. So there’s no 
need to carry your cable when you’re on the road with an infrared-
enabled laptop.
