Setting Preferences for Your PC Companion
Beam Receive
You can choose to turn off the Beam Receive feature. This prohibits
anyone from beaming information to your PC companion. 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.
Date and Time preferences
The Date and Time Preferences screen enables you to set the date,
time, time zone, and Daylight Saving option on your PC companion.
See “Customizing your PC companion” in Chapter 1 for information
about using this screen.
Connection preferences
The Connection Preferences screen enables you to define the settings
used to connect your PC companion to other devices. 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 PC companion.
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:
You can purchase a modem accessory for use with your PC
companion. See

.
You can also create custom configurations, which include the
following:
PC via Cradle/Cable:
A local HotSync connection: the
direct connection between your PC companion and
your desktop computer. Your PC companion is
connected by its universal connector to the cradle,
and the cradle is attached by its cable to a USB port
of your desktop computer. (If you are using the
optional serial cradle, the cradle attaches by its
cable to a serial (COM) port of your computer.)
