9.4 Beaming Information Using Bluetooth
You can beam information, such as contacts, calendar items, tasks, and files from your device to your 
computer or to another Bluetooth-enabled device.
Note If your computer does not have built-in Bluetooth capability, you need to connect and use a Bluetooth adapter or 
dongle on your computer.
To beam information from your device to a computer
1. Turn on Bluetooth on your device, and make your device visible. For information about this, see “To 
turn Bluetooth on and make your device visible”.
2. Set Bluetooth on your computer to visible mode, create a Bluetooth partnership, then enable your 
computer to receive Bluetooth beams.
Note If the Bluetooth adapter or dongle on your computer was installed using a third-party provided driver, open 
the Bluetooth software that came with the Bluetooth adapter/dongle and enable the adapter/dongle to be 
discovered by other devices. Refer to the Bluetooth adapter’s documentation for more information.

contact card, or a file.

Menu > Send Contact > Beam. To beam other types of information, tap Menu
> Beam [type of item].
5. Tap the device name to which you want to send the item.

Outlook, select 
File > Import and Export in Outlook to import it.
To beam information to a Bluetooth-enabled device such as another Windows Mobile-powered device, follow 
steps 1 to 5 in the above procedure.
Tips    The default folder on your computer where beamed items are stored may be C:\Documents and Settings\your_
