CHAPTER
Beaming information
Your Centro is equipped with an IR
(infrared) port so that you can beam
information to another device with an IR
port—provided the other device supports
IR communications with Palm OS devices.
The IR port is located on the side of your
Centro, next to the expansion card slot,
behind the small dark shield.
Beaming an entry
You can beam an individual entry or item
such as a contact or a picture. You can also
beam all the entries in the selected
category, such as all the contacts in the
Business or Family category.
1 Open the application that holds the
entry you want to beam.
2 Select the entry or category you want to
beam. You cannot beam an item that
has a lock icon next to it.
3 Press Menu .
4 Select Record, and then select one of
the following:
Beam: Sends an individual record.
Beam Category: Sends all entries in
the current category.
5 When the Beam Status dialog box
appears, point the IR port on your
Centro directly at the IR port of the
receiving device.
6 Wait for the Beam Status dialog box to
indicate that the transfer is complete
before you continue using your Centro.
TIP
For best results, the path between the
two devices must be clear of obstacles, and
both devices must be stationary. If you have
difficulty beaming, shorten the distance and
avoid bright sunlight.
TIP
Once you set up your business card, you
can beam it in two key presses: From the
Main tab in the Phone application, press
Menu, and then press M.

If you beam a bookmark or
saved page from the web browser, it beams
the URL, not the contents of that page.
