Beaming information

Your Palm IIIe organizer is equipped with an IR (infrared) port that 
you can use to beam information to another Palm Computing 
connected organizer that’s close by and also has an IR port. The IR port 
is located at the top of the organizer, behind the small dark shield. 

You can beam the following information between Palm Computing 
connected organizers:

■

The record currently displayed in Date Book, Address Book, Task 

List, To Do List, Memo Pad, or specific add-on applications

■

All records of the category currently displayed in Address Book, 

Task List, 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:

1. Locate the record, business card, or category you want to beam.

2. Tap the Menu icon 

.

3. Tap Record, and then tap one of the following:

The Beam command for an individual record

In Address Book only: Beam Business Card

Beam Category

4. When the Beam Status dialog box appears, point the IR port 

directly at the IR port of the receiving organizer.

Tip:

For best results, Palm IIIe organizers 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 
Palm Computing connected organizers may be different.
