Sending data

27

To receive beamed information:

1.

Turn on your handheld.

2.

Point the IR port directly at the IR port of the transmitting device to open the 
Beam dialog box.

3.

(Optional) Tap the category pick list and select a category for the incoming 
information. You can also create a new category or leave the information 
unfiled.

4.

Tap Yes. 

Sending data

In addition to beaming data, you can also use e-mail or SMS communication to 
send information to and receive information from other devices. The CD-ROM that 
comes with your handheld includes e-mail and Telephony/SMS applications that 
you can use to share information with other devices that are enabled with e-mail 
or SMS technology. 

NOTE

Although you can exchange some forms of data with SMS communication, 

you cannot use SMS communication to send or receive photos.

If you only want to share e-mail messages between your handheld and your 
desktop computer, you simply need to install the e-mail application from the 
CD-ROM. However, if you want to send and receive e-mail messages directly to 
and from your handheld, you also need an Internet service provide (ISP) account 
and a compatible mobile phone or modem accessory (sold separately). For 
additional information, see 

Chapter 13

.

To use your handheld for SMS communication, you need to install the Telephony/
SMS applications from the CD-ROM and you need a Global System for Mobile 
Communications (GSM) mobile phone (sold separately). For additional 
information, see the 

SMS Handbook

 on the CD-ROM.

Using your computer keyboard

If you have a lot of data to enter, or prefer to use the computer keyboard, you can 
use Palm™ Desktop software or any supported personal information manager 
(PIM) to enter information on your desktop computer. You can then perform a 
HotSync operation to synchronize the information on your computer with the 
information on your handheld. Many of the applications that came with your 
handheld are also available in Palm Desktop software and in most PIMs, so you 
don’t need to learn different applications. For more information on entering data 
on your computer, refer to the online Help in Palm Desktop software (for Windows 
users) and the 

Palm Desktop Software for the Macintosh User’s Guide

 on the Software 

Installation CD-ROM (for Macintosh users).
