Beaming categories
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. You can beam all records of the category currently
displayed in Address Book, To Do List, or Memo Pad between
handhelds.
What changed?
In previous versions of the operating system, beamed records were
placed in the Unfiled category, and you had to go to the appropriate
application, find the beamed records, then assign a category to them.
The 3.5 Upgrade includes a new Beam dialog that appears when your
handheld receives the beamed records, where you can immediately
assign the records to a specific category. If the record was originally
filed in a category you do not have, you must first create the new
category.
To receive beamed information:
1. Turn on your handheld.
2. Point the IR port directly at the IR port of the transmitting
handheld to open the Beam dialog box.
3. Select a category for the incoming information, create a new
category, or leave the information unfiled.
4. Tap Yes.
