Beaming Information - Palm IIIe Handbook

Beaming information

Your Palm IIIe organizer is equipped with an IR (infrared) port that
you can use to beam information to another Palm Computing
connected organizer that's close by and also has an IR port. The IR port
is located at the top of the organizer, behind the small dark shield.
You can beam the following information between Palm Computing
connected organizers:
The record currently displayed in Date Book, Address Book, Task
List, To Do List, Memo Pad, or specific add-on applications
All records of the category currently displayed in Address Book,
Task List, To Do List, or Memo Pad
A special Address Book record that you designate as your
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 Book record that contains the information you
want on your 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

Tip:
centimeters (approximately 4 inches) and 1 meter
(approximately 39 inches) apart, and the path between the two
devices must be clear of obstacles. Beaming distance to other
Palm Computing connected organizers may be different.
