Beaming information
Your smartphone is equipped with an IR
(infrared) port that enables you to beam
information to another device with an IR
port. The IR port is located on the side of
your smartphone closest to the stylus, near
the top. You can also beam using the
Bluetooth wireless technology on your
smartphone.
The normal range for beaming with IR is
about 20 centimeters (eight inches). The
maximum range for beaming with
Bluetooth technology is about 10 meters
(30 feet). Performance and range are
affected by physical obstacles, radio
interference from nearby electronic
equipment, and other factors.
Beaming an entry or file
BEFORE YOU BEGIN To beam using
Bluetooth technology, make sure your
smartphone has the Bluetooth feature
turned on (see Entering basic
Bluetooth
settings).
1 Highlight the entry or file you want to
beam.
2 Press Menu (right softkey) and select
Beam… (the menu item changes
names based on the type of item you
highlighted). In Contacts, press Menu
(right softkey) and select Send Contact
> Beam.
TIP
For best results, the path between the
two devices must be clear of obstacles, and
both devices kept stationary. If you have
difficulty beaming, shorten the distance and
avoid bright sunlight.
