Common Questions
Sharing
I can’t beam information to another handheld or other device.
Depending on the receiving handheld model, not all information may be sent correctly.
• If you are beaming to another Palm Powered device, confirm that your handheld and the other
handheld are 4 to 39 inches (approximately ten centimeters to one meter) apart and that the path
between the two handhelds is clear of obstacles. Beaming distances to other devices with an IR
port may be different.
• Move your handheld closer to the receiving device.
• Make sure the receiving device has beam receive enabled.
• Perform a soft reset on both your handheld and the receiving device.
• Avoid beaming in bright sunlight or fluorescent light. These produce infrared noise that can
make beaming go slower or, in some cases, prevent it from working at all.
