computer from an external power unit, you may switch the charging cable from COM1 to COM4 (right
port) if COM4 is a 26-pin configured port.
To connect a peripheral via the infrared (IR) COM port:
1. Ensure that the IR window at the bottom of the unit is pointing at the peripheral's IR port and that
the units are separated by at least 15cm (6 inches).
2. If the peripheral has a protective cap covering its IR port, remove it.
3. If necessary, switch the peripheral off then on again, to instigate communications.
If you have difficulties, try a slightly larger or smaller separation between the handheld computer and
the peripheral and start again.
