Beam Receive
You can choose to turn off the Beam Receive feature. This prohibits
anyone from beaming information to your handheld. It also results in
a slight saving of battery power.
To change the Beam Receive setting:
■ Tap the Beam Receive pick list and select On or Off.
Date and Time preferences
The Date and Time Preferences screen enables you to set the date,
time, time zone, and Daylight Saving option on your handheld.
See “Customizing your handheld” in Chapter 1 for information about
using this screen.
Connection preferences
The Connection Preferences screen enables you to define the settings
used to connect your handheld to other devices. The screen displays a
list of available configurations that are ready to be further defined; the
list varies depending on the kind of software you’ve added to your
handheld.
For example, a modem connection appears on the list. If you have this
modem, you only need to specify the phone setup (and network
connection — if required) to complete the configuration.
Note: You can purchase a PalmModem accessory for use with your
handheld. See http://www.palm.com .
You can also create custom configurations, which include the
following:
PC via Cradle/Cable: A local HotSync connection: the
direct connection between your handheld and your
desktop computer. Your handheld is connected by
its universal connector to the cradle, and the cradle
is attached by its cable to a USB port of your
desktop computer. (If you are using the optional
serial cradle, the cradle attaches by its cable to a
serial (COM) port of your computer.)
