4.3 Infrared and Bluetooth Connection
Infrared
You can use infrared (IR) to send and receive information and files between mobile devices. If
an IR port is installed on your PC, you can send and receive information and files between your
T-Mobile MDA III and PC.
On your T-Mobile MDA III, tap > Settings > Connections tab > Beam .
By default your device detects incoming infrared (IR) and Bluetooth beams and prompts you
to accept them. If you do not want your T-Mobile MDA III to detect or receive beams, clear the
Receive all incoming beams check box.
NOTE: If someone attempts to send you an IR beam from an older device, you may not be
prompted to accept it. In this case, before the beam is sent from the other device, tap Receive
an infrared beam at the bottom of the Beam screen.
Bluetooth
1. Make sure that your T-Mobile MDA III is configured to receive incoming beams.
2. Make sure that your T-Mobile MDA III is turned on, discoverable, and within 10 meters (about 30
feet) of the other device beaming the information.
3. When prompted to receive an incoming beam, tap Yes to accept the beam.
For more information about Bluetooth and its settings, please see Chapter 6.
4.4 ActiveSync Errors
Whenever ActiveSync cannot successfully synchronize your information, it displays an error
on your T-Mobile MDA III.
Viewing error information
Press the Action button when the error text is displayed. ActiveSync will then display more
information about the error that occurred.
Some types of errors can interfere with automatic synchronization. If you suspect that a scheduled
automatic synchronization has not occurred, you should attempt to manually synchronize your informa-
tion. Successfully completing manual synchronization will reset automatic synchronization. For more
information, see the Synchronizing Information section of ActiveSync Help on your PC.
