Section 8

To perform an IR HotSync operation, the computer you want to 
synchronize with must have an enabled infrared port or be connected to 
an infrared device that supports the IrCOMM implementation of the IrDA 
standards.

Desktop computers are likely to require an infrared device attached to a 
physical COM port. Laptops are likely to have a built-in IR port. Your 
computer must also have an installed infrared driver. 

If your computer uses Microsoft Windows 98, Windows Me, or Windows 
2000, infrared communication is built into the operating system. Some 
versions of Windows 95 also have built-in infrared communication. If 
you are using another type of computer, check the documentation that 
came with your computer to see if it supports infrared communication.
