Creating a user profile to control multiple CLIE handhelds
If your company introduces multiple CLIE handhelds to its employees, for
example, you can create a user profile (such as a company phone list) to load
the data into several CLIE handhelds without associating that data with a
user name. 
Notes
• This feature is designed only for the first HotSync operation (before you have
assigned a User ID to a particular CLIE handheld).
• For the procedure used to send a profile after setting user names, see “Synchronizing
with external data (File Link)” on page 138.

Conducting an IR HotSync operation
You can use the IR (infrared) port of your CLIE handheld to perform an IR
HotSync operation with a computer equipped with an IrDA (Infrared Data
Association) IR port. An IR HotSync operation allows you to perform a
HotSync operation without using the cradle.
Before you start performing an IR HotSync operation
Check the following:
• Your computer’s operating system is not Windows
® 2000. (You cannot
perform an IR HotSync operation with a computer running the Windows
2000 operating system.)
• Your computer is equipped with an infrared port supporting the IrDA
standards.
• The infrared port of your computer is enabled for Windows use.
To enable the IR port with Windows, see the manual of the computer you
are using or the Windows online help.
• Which port number is allocated to the infrared port.
Check the infrared port number in the Infrared Monitor in the Control
Panel. For information on the Infrared Monitor, see the manual of the
computer you are using or the Windows online help.
Preparing your computer
To perform an IR HotSync operation, you have to allocate a virtual port to
an IR HotSync operation.
1Click the HotSync  icon in the Windows task tray (bottom-
right corner of the taskbar) and then select Local from the
shortcut menu.

Conducting a HotSync operation via modem
You can use a modem to synchronize your CLIE handheld when you are
away from your computer. A HotSync operation via modem allows you to
back up your CLIE data to your computer away from your computer.
Notes
• The first HotSync operation must be local, using the cradle. After that, you can
perform a modem HotSync operation.
• It may take many minutes to complete a HotSync operation via modem. To
minimize the time required to synchronize data with a modem, we suggest you
define the files and/or applications you synchronize during a modem HotSync
operation in advance. For details, see “To select the conduits for a modem HotSync
operation” on page 131.
Before you start performing a HotSync operation via modem
Check the following:
• A modem or terminal adapter is connected to your computer.
• The CLIE Modem PEGA-MD700 (not supplied) must be connected to
your CLIE handheld.
• The Palm Desktop for CLIE software must be properly configured for use
with the modem.
