Beaming information
Your handheld is equipped with an IR (infrared) port that you can use
to beam information to another Palm OS handheld that’s close by and
also has an IR port. The IR port is located on the side of the handheld,
behind the small dark shield.
You can beam the following information between Palm OS handhelds:
■ The record currently displayed in Date Book, Address, To Do List,
or Memo Pad
Note: You cannot beam records from Date Book Plus.
■ All records of the category currently displayed in Address, To Do
List, or Memo Pad
■ A special Address record that you designate as your personal
business card, containing information you want to exchange with
business contacts
■ An application installed in RAM memory
To select a business card:
1. Create an Address record that contains the information you want
on your personal business card.
2. Tap the Menu icon .
3. Tap Record, and then tap Select Business Card.
4. Tap Yes.
To beam a record, business card, or category of records:
1. Locate the record, business card, or category you want to beam.
2. Tap the Menu icon .
3. Tap Record, and then tap one of the following:
The Beam command for an individual record

4. When the Beam Status dialog box appears, point the IR port
directly at the IR port of the receiving handheld.
Tip: For best results, Visor handhelds should be between 10
centimeters (approximately 4 inches) and 1 meter
(approximately 39 inches) apart, and the path between
the two handhelds must be clear of obstacles. Beaming
distance to other Palm OS handhelds may be different.
