SENDING PDA DATA USING THE INFRARED (IR) MODEM:

  • Plug your phone line into the modem so that one end of the line hooks into the wall jack and the other end of the line hooks into the

  • modem (Use a single analog line only. Digital lines will fry the modem! If you are unsure, ask your technical support staff.)

  • Plug the modem into an electrical outlet. Turn the modem on by pressing the button marked “ON” and make sure switch is on “IR.”

  • Flip the cover of the PDA over, turn on the PDA, and enter your password.

  • Set the PDA down on the table facing the modem so that the infrared sensor on the modem is facing the infrared sensor on the PDA.

  • Tap the icon on the PDA labeled “HotSync.” A screen pops up which has a picture of circling arrows. Tap on the word “Modem”

  • above the picture. It should say “IR Modem” below the picture and list the toll-free phone number as “18007710723” (or “9,18007710723” if you need a 9 to dial out).

  • To send data tap the circling arrows picture and the PDA will go through a series of screens indicating that data are being sent.

  • If the error message “Modem not found” appears, realign the modem and PDA to make sure the infrared sensors are lined up and

  • try sending again. If the error message “Carrier not found” appears, check your phone/fax line connection before sending again.

  • You will know the PDA is completed with the sending process when the screen says “HotSync operation complete.”
