Beaming information
Your smartphone is equipped with an IR (infrared) port that lets you beam information
to another Palm Powered device with an IR port. The IR port is located on the top of
your smartphone, between the antenna and the Ringer switch, behind the small dark
shield.
Beaming an entry
1. Select the entry or category you want to beam. If a lock appears next to the
item, it can’t be beamed.
2. Open the menus .
3. Select Record, and then select one of the following:
• Beam: Sends an individual record.
• Beam Category: Sends all entries in the current category.
4. When the Beam Status dialog box appears, point the IR port on your smartphone
directly at the IR port of the receiving device.
5. Wait for the Beam Status dialog box to indicate that the transfer is complete
before you continue using your smartphone.
You can store a beamed
application on your phone,
or send it to an expansion
card inserted in the
expansion card slot.
Beam your business card
in two key presses: From
the Main View in the Phone
application, open the
menus, 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.
