If automatic connection does not occur, check the following
points.
① Check power connection to the cradle and the serial cable
connection to the desktop PC.
② Select Connection settings on the File menu in the desktop PC’s
ActiveSync window. Check to see that the “Allow s

available”. If the assigned COM is unavailable, connect after
setting the desktop PC’s COM port. For information on setting
COM ports, see your desktop computer’s manual or Help.
