platform
devices that also have an IR port. See “Beaming
information” in Chapter 6 for more information.
Antenna

Chapter 8 to learn how to open a specific application
when you raise the antenna.
Whenever you use the wireless features of your
organizer, please observe the guidelines or
prohibitions on the use of wireless devices in your
current location. For example, when you are on an
airplane, do not raise the antenna or use the wireless
features at times when the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) or airline regulations prohibit
the use of cellular phones. You can, of course, use all
other applications of your organizer in accordance
with airline regulations for electronic devices.
