Beaming Information to Other
3Com
®
Connected Organizers
Your Palm III organizer is equipped with an IR (infrared) port that you
can use to “beam” information from one 3Com
®
connected organizer
to another. The IR port is located at the top of the Palm III organizer
behind the small dark shield.
Note:
If you are using a device other than a Palm III organizer,
please confirm that your device includes the required infrared
hardware before you use this feature.
You can beam the following information between 3Com connected
organizers:
The current Address Book, Date Book, To Do List or Memo Pad
entry
All the Address Book, To Do List or Memo Pad entries in the
current category
A special Address Book entry which you designate as your
“business card” (see “Beaming Address Entries to Other 3Com
Connected Organizers” in the Applications Handbook for the Palm III
Organizer for details)
An application installed in RAM memory
To beam information:
1. Locate the entry, category, business card or application you want
to beam.
2. Tap the Beam command from the Record menu to open the Beam
Status dialog. (See the Applications Handbook for the Palm III
Organizer for details.)
3. Point the IR port directly at the IR port of the receiving 3Com
connected organizer.
Tip:
For best results, the 3Com connected organizers should
be between five centimeters (approximately 2 inches) and
one meter (approximately 40 inches) apart, and the path
between the two devices must be clear of obstacles.
