Keep the expansion card slot clean. Leave the dummy card in the slot
when you are not using an expansion card.
Beaming information
The IR (infrared) port on your handheld can beam information to
another Palm OS
® handheld that’s close by and also has an IR port.
You can beam the following information:
■
The record or category of records currently displayed in Address
Book, Date Book, Memo Pad, Note Pad, or To Do List.
■
An application in RAM memory or on an expansion card.
■
An Address Book record designated as your business card. To
designate the record, simply select the record, tap the Menu icon,
tap Select Business Card, and then tap Yes to confirm. To beam
your business card, hold down the Address Book button for two
seconds.
For best results, handhelds should be between 10 centimeters (about 4
inches) and 1 meter (about 39 inches) apart, and the path between the
two handhelds must be clear of obstacles.
To beam:
1. Display what you want to
beam onscreen.
2. Tap the Menu icon.
3. In the menu that drops down,
tap the Beam command.
To receive beamed information:
1. Turn on your handheld.
2. (Optional) Tap the category
pick list and select where you
want the information to be
stored on your handheld.
Before you move your handhelds out of beaming position, wait for
the Beam Status dialog box to indicate that the transfer is complete.
