C Beam
C Beam is used to transfer notes and other files between C-
Pen and PDAs (Personal Digital Assistant). C Beam supports
the standard infrared protocol IrOBEX.
Please note that the PDA device must support the standard
infrared protocol IrOBEX in order to be used with C-Pen.
If you should experience problems with C Beam, start by
turning off and on both C-Pen and the PDA device.
Receiving files
In order to receive information files from a PDA device with
your C-Pen, follow the steps below.
1. Make sure that the C-Pen’s IR-eye is directed towards the
PDA device’s IR-eye.
Please note that it is very important that the IR-eyes are
aligned and in range of each other (5-20 centimeters, or 2-8
inches). There must be no obstacles between the devices.
2. Send the file from the PDA device according to the
instructions in the PDA’s user manual.
3. If the PDA is equipped with a language extender, make
sure you have selected the proper character set in
Beam Settings/Receiving files, see p. 56.
4. The IR-symbol in C-Pen’s status field indicates
activity. The Receive dialog box appears on the
screen, displaying the name of the transferred file.
5. You can cancel the transmission at any time by
pressing
CANCEL
in the Receive dialog box.
