My handheld
displays the message
“Waiting for sender”
when it’s near my
computer’s infrared
port.
■ Your computer’s infrared port may be
set to search automatically for the
presence of other infrared devices. Do
the following to turn off this option:
1. In the Windows taskbar, click Start.
2. Choose Settings, and then choose
Control Panel.
3. Double-click Infrared.
4. Click the Options tab.
5. Deselect the option Search for and
provide status for devices in range.
6. Click Apply and OK.
■ If you are using Windows 98, move your
handheld away from the computer’s
infrared port.
I want to
synchronize my
computer with more
than one handheld.
■ If the computer running Palm Desktop
software synchronizes with more than
one handheld, each handheld must have
a unique name. Assign a user name to
your handheld the first time you
perform a HotSync operation.
■ Please be aware that synchronizing
more than one handheld with the same
user name causes unpredictable results
and, potentially, loss of your personal
information.
