Working with your SPT 1500
Beaming Information to Other SPT 1500 Terminals
Your SPT 1500 terminal is equipped with an IR (infrared) port that you can use to “beam”
information from one SPT 1500 terminal to another, and also to other Palm III users. The IR
port is located at the top of the SPT 1500 terminal, next to the laser scanner behind the red
shield. See Figure 1-1 for location of the IR port.
Note: If you are using a device other than an SPT 1500 terminal, please
confirm that your device includes the required infrared hardware
before you use this feature.
You can beam the following information between SPT 1500 terminals:
t The current Address Book, Date Book, To Do List or Memo Pad entry
t All the Address Book, To Do List or Memo Pad entries in the current category
t A special Address Book entry which you designate as your “business card” (see
Beaming Address Entries to Other SPT 1500 terminals on page 4-9 for details)
t An application installed in RAM memory.
To beam information:
1. Locate the entry, category, business card or application you want to beam.
2. Tap the Beam command from the Record menu to open the Beam Status dialog.
3. Point the IR port directly at the IR port of the receiving SPT 1500 terminal.
Tip: For best results, the SPT 1500 terminals should be between approximately 2
inches and 5 inches apart, and the path between the two devices must be clear
of obstacles.
4. Wait for the Beam Status dialog to indicate that the transfer is complete before you
continue working on your SPT 1500 terminal.
