Beaming information
Your WorkPad c3 companion is equipped with an IR (infrared) port
that you can use to beam information to another WorkPad PC
companion that is close by and also has an IR port. The IR port is
located at the top of the companion, behind the small dark shield.
You can beam the following information between WorkPad PC
companions:
■
The record currently displayed in Date Book, Address Book, To
Do List, or Memo Pad
■
All records of the category currently displayed in Address Book,
To Do List, or Memo Pad
■
A special Address Book record that you designate as your
business card, containing information you want to exchange with
business contacts
■
An application installed in RAM memory
To select a business card:
1. Create an Address Book record that contains the information you
want on your business card.
2. Tap the Menu icon .
3. Tap Record, and then tap Select Business Card.
4. Tap Yes.
To beam a record, business card, or category of records:

Tip: For best results, WorkPad c3 companions should be between
10 centimeters (approximately 4 inches) and 1 meter
(approximately 39 inches) apart, and the path between the two
devices must be clear of obstacles. Beaming distance to other
WorkPad PC companions may be different.
