Beaming Information

Your Treo device is equipped with an IR (infrared) port that enables you to beam
information to another Palm OS device with an IR port. The IR port is located on the side of
your device, above the expansion card slot door, behind the small dark shield.

For best results, the path between the two devices must be clear of obstacles, and both
devices must be kept stationary. If you have difficulty beaming, shorten the distance and
avoid bright sunlight.

Beaming an Entry

You can beam an individual entry or item such as a contact or a picture. You can also beam
all the entries in the selected category, such as all the contacts in the Business or Family
category.

1.

Select the entry or category you want to beam. (You cannot beam an item that has a
lock

next to it.)

2.

Press Menu

.

Tip:

If you beam a bookmark or a saved page from the Web browser, it beams
the URL, not the contents of that page.
