Beaming problems
I want to
synchronize my
computer with more
than one handheld. ■ If the computer running Palm Desktop
software synchronizes with more than
one handheld, each handheld must have
a unique name. Assign a user name to
your handheld the first time you
perform a HotSync operation.
■ Please be aware that synchronizing
more than one handheld with the same
user name causes unpredictable results
and, potentially, loss of your personal
information.
Problem Solution
I cannot beam data to
another Palm OS
handheld. ■ Confirm that your handheld and the
other Palm OS handheld are between
ten centimeters (approximately 4") and
one meter (approximately 39") apart,
and that the path between the two
handhelds is clear of obstacles. Beaming
distance to other Palm OS handhelds
may be different.
■ Move your handheld closer to the
receiving handheld.
When someone
beams data to my
handheld, I get a
message telling me it
is out of memory. ■ Your handheld requires at least twice
the amount of memory available as the
data you are receiving. For example, if
you are receiving a 30K application, you
must have at least 60K free.
■ Perform a soft reset. See “Performing a
soft reset” in Appendix A for more
information.
