Using the cradle (optional on the HP Jornada 710) you can
also make a USB connection to your desktop PC. A
standard USB A-to-B cable (not included) is required in
order to make a USB connection.
Your HP Jornada should start automatically and establish a
connection to the desktop computer. To remove your HP Jornada
from the docking cradle, push the release button on the cradle,
and carefully lift your HP Jornada from the cradle.
If you are traveling without your docking cradle or you need to
synchronize files with your home computer while the docking
cradle is connected to your office PC, you can connect your HP
Jornada directly to a desktop PC using only the serial sync cable.
(See Connecting by serial port earlier in this chapter.)
You can also connect and synchronize by infrared. For more
information, see the Connecting by infrared section in this
chapter.
