Section 22

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 not only can you beam 
data to another Palm OS® handheld that is equipped with an 
IR port, but you can also beam data to a cell phone and any 
other device that supports the IrCOMM implementation of the 
IrDA standards. Most importantly, you can use the IR port to 
perform HotSync operations. This is especially useful if you 
travel with an infrared-enabled laptop. You simply enable 
infrared communication on your laptop and handheld and 
follow the steps in “Performing an IR HotSync operation” 
later in this section.

Before you can perform a HotSync operation using the IR port, 
the desktop computer must have the following requirements:

䊳

The computer must support the IrCOMM implementation 

of the IrDA standards.

䊳

The computer must have an enabled infrared port that is 

built into the computer, or an enabled infrared device 
attached to the computer.

Desktop computers are likely to require an infrared device 
attached to a physical COM port. Laptop computers are likely 
to have a built-in IR port, so no external device is necessary. 
Your computer must also have an installed infrared driver. 
Check your computer’s documentation to learn if the 
computer supports infrared communication. If your desktop 
computer uses Microsoft® Windows 98 or Windows 2000, 
infrared communication is built into the operating system.
