66 | Synchronizing Your Pocket PC Phone
4.3 Synchronizing via Infrared and Bluetooth
You can connect your device to the PC to synchronize using the local
wireless technologies, such as infrared (IR) and Bluetooth. These
technologies have almost similar but slightly differing requirements.
To synchronize with a PC via infrared
1. Follow the instructions in ActiveSync Help on the PC for setting
up your PC to receive infrared beams.
2. Line up the infrared (IR) ports according to the instructions in the
manufacturer’s documentation for your device so that they are
unobstructed and within close range.
3. On the device, tap Start > Programs > ActiveSync.
4. Tap Menu > Connect via IR.
5. Tap Sync.
To synchronize with a PC via Bluetooth
1. Follow the instructions in ActiveSync Help on the PC for
configuring Bluetooth on your PC to support ActiveSync.
2. On the device, tap Start > Programs > ActiveSync.
3. Tap Menu > Connect via Bluetooth. Make sure that Bluetooth is
turned on at the device and the PC, and that they are within close range.
4. If this is the first time you have connected to this PC via
Bluetooth, you must first complete the Bluetooth wizard on the
device and set up a Bluetooth partnership between your device
and the PC.
For more information about enabling and configuring Bluetooth,
see Chapter 6.
Note You can also use the Sync Setup Wizard to set up the device to
synchronize remotely with Exchange Server. This wizard is started
when you connect your mobile device to your PC after installing
ActiveSync on the PC.
