■
Change the type of data (Contacts, Calendar, Messaging,
Tasks, Favorites, Files, Notes, or AvantGo) to synchronize.
Note:
To synchronize files, select files in your computer; then
drag and drop the files into the synchronization folder on your
device. If you named your HP iPAQ “PC1” when you created
your partnership, then the synchronized folder is named “PC1.”
When you synchronize, the files are automatically moved to and
from the PC1 folder.
Changing Synchronization Settings
You can modify the synchronization settings to:
■
Set a time for synchronization to occur.
■
Change the type of connection.

XP operating systems.
To set up an infrared connection to your computer:
1. Follow your computer manufacturer’s instructions to set up
the infrared port.
