Transfer Items Using Infrared
Using infrared (IR), you can send and receive information, such as contacts and
appointments, between two devices.
To send information:
1. Switch to the program where you created the item you want to send and locate
the item in the list.
2. Align the IR ports so that they are unobstructed and within a close range.
3. Tap and hold the item, and tap Beam Item on the pop-up menu.
You can also send items, but not folders, from File Explorer. Tap and hold the item you
want to send, and then tap Beam File on the pop-up menu.
To receive information:
1. Align the IR ports so that they are unobstructed and within a close range.
2. Have the owner of the other device send the information to you. Your Toshiba
Pocket PC will automatically receive it.
Connect to the Internet
You can connect to your ISP, and use the connection to send and receive e-mail
messages and view Web or WAP pages.
You can connect to work in one of two ways:
■ Create a modem connection. If this is the method you want to use, see “To create
a modem connection to an ISP.”
■ Use an Ethernet card and a net tap to connect to the network. If this is the
method you want to use, see “To create an Ethernet connection to an ISP.”
To create a modem connection to an ISP:
1. Obtain the following information from your ISP: ISP dial-up access telephone
number, user name, password, and TCP/IP settings. Some ISPs require
information in front of the user name, such as MSN/username.
2. Connect your Toshiba Pocket PC to an optional modem. You can use a connector
cable to hook up to your wireless phone, with data capabilities.
3. Tap and then Settings. In the Connections tab, tap Connections. Under
The Internet settings, select Internet Settings and tap Modify.
4. In the Modem tab, tap New.
5. Enter a name for the connection, such as “ISP Connection.”
