Beaming problems
My handheld displays the
message “Waiting for sender”
when it’s near my computer ’s
infrared port. (continued)
■
In some cases, simply moving your handheld away from the
computer’s infrared port solves the problem.
I want to synchronize my
computer with more than one
handheld.
■
If the computer running Palm Desktop software
synchronizes with more than one handheld, each handheld
must have a unique name. Assign a user name to your
handheld the first time you perform a HotSync operation.
■
Please be aware that synchronizing more than one handheld
with the same user name causes unpredictable results and,
potentially, loss of your personal information.
Problem Solution
I cannot beam data to another
Palm OS handheld.
■
Confirm that your handheld and the other Palm OS
handheld are between ten centimeters (approximately 4")
and one meter (approximately 39") apart, and that the path
between the two handhelds is clear of obstacles. Beaming
distance to other Palm OS handhelds may be different.
■
Move your handheld closer to the receiving handheld.
When someone beams data to
my handheld, I get a message
telling me it is out of memory.
■
Your handheld requires at least twice the amount of
memory available as the data you are receiving. For
example, if you are receiving a 30KB application, you must
have at least 60KB free.
■
Perform a soft reset. See “Performing a soft reset” in
Appendix A for more information.
