Beam Receive
You can choose to turn off the Beam Receive feature. This prohibits
anyone from beaming information to your handheld. It also results in
a slight saving of battery power.
To change the Beam Receive setting:
■
Tap the Beam Receive pick list and select On or Off.
Connection preferences
The Connection Preferences screen enables you to define the settings
used to perform different types of HotSync operations. The screen
displays a list of available configurations that are ready to be further
defined; the list varies depending on the kind of software you’ve
added to your handheld.
For example, a modem connection appears on the list. If you have this
modem, you only need to specify the phone setup (and network
connection — if required) to complete the configuration.
Note:
To if a modem that is compatible with your handheld is
available, go to the web site:

.
You can also create custom configurations. There are four possible
kinds of connections.
Serial to PC:
A local HotSync connection: the direct
serial connection between your handheld and your
computer. Your handheld is connected by its serial
port to the HotSync cable, and the cable is attached
to a serial (COM) port of your computer.
Serial to Modem:
A connection between a modem
attached to the serial port of your handheld and a
modem that is part of your computer.
IrCOMM to PC:
A connection between the IR port of
your handheld and the infrared device of your
computer.
IrCOMM to Modem:
A connection between the IR
port of your handheld and a modem. The modem
can be attached to a computer or some other device
containing an IR port such as a cell phone.
