Exchanging Data with Mobile Devices
Your iQue M5 can connect to other handheld devices using Infrared (IR) or Bluetooth technology. Once connected, you can “beam”
your contact files, appointments, notes, and many other types of files easily, without cords and cables. Beaming means sending
data electronically from one device to another. For more information on using Bluetooth technology, refer to Chapter 8,
Beaming Data with IR
Using IR, you can send files from Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, File Explorer, Pocket Word, and Pocket Excel. From within any of
these applications, you can simply tap
Tools
and then
Beam
to beam a file to another device. You can also tap and hold on a file
name and select
Beam
from the drop-down menu. Make sure that the Infrared ports are lined up and that there are no objects
between them.
