Infrared
Beaming an Item
In the Calendar, Contacts, Notes, Tasks, Excel Mobile, Word Mobile, and PowerPoint Mobile, you can
beam files and information to other devices using infrared.
1.
From the program, select the item you want to beam, such as an appointment in Calendar, a task
in Tasks, a contact card in Contacts, or a file in File Manager.
2.
Tap
Menu > Beam.
3.
Align the infrared (IR) ports at close range until the target device name appears, then tap the device
to which you want to send the item.
CAUTION
Files are saved automatically before they are beamed. If a Word document or Excel
workbook was created on a computer, unsupported content and formatting may be lost when the
files are saved.
NOTE
If you want your HP iPAQ to detect or receive beams, tap
Start > Settings >
Connections
tab
> Beam,
and select the
Receive all incoming beams
check box.
Receiving an Infrared Beam
If you set your HP iPAQ to receive all incoming infrared (IR) beams, it detects and notifies you of IR
beams.
1.
Tap
Start > Settings > Connections
tab
> Beam.
2.
Select the
Receive all incoming beams
check box.
3.
Be sure your HP iPAQ is turned on and within close range of the device that is beaming the
information.
4.
When prompted to receive an incoming beam, tap
Yes
to receive the beamed information.
Synchronizing with the Infrared Connection
As an alternative to using the desktop cradle or autosync cable, you can synchronize your HP iPAQ and
your computer using the infrared connection if you have an infrared port or an infrared USB adapter
installed on your computer. The infrared connection option works only on computers that have Microsoft
Windows 2000 or XP operating systems installed.
To set up an infrared connection to a computer:
1.
Synchronize your HP iPAQ with your computer using the desktop cradle or autosync cable
before
the first time you establish an ActiveSync connection via infrared.
2.
Follow your computer manufacturer’s instructions to install and set up an infrared port.
3.
Remove the HP iPAQ from the cradle or autosync cable and line up the infrared port with the
computer infrared port so they are unobstructed and within 12 inches (30.5 cm) of each other.
