The Information Exchange service provides a way to send and receive Microsoft Outlook 
items to and from another Bluetooth device, such as a Personal Digital Assistant or 
notebook computer. 

The supported Outlook items are 

• 

Business cards (*.vcf and *.vcd) 

• 

Calendar entries (*.vcs) 

• 

Notes (*.vnt) 

• 

Messages (*.vmg) 

There are three types of operations: 

• 

Send—sends an object to another device. 

• 

Receive—requests an object from another device. 

• 

Exchange—sends a client object and receives a server object. 

The default location of your business card and the location where received items are 
placed can be configured in the Bluetooth Configuration Panel. 

To send, receive or exchange an object: on the client, in the Folders pane of My 
Bluetooth Places, right-click the Inbox icon of the remote device and select an option 
from the pop-up menu. 

Business cards are sent, received or exchanged without further intervention. 

To send Calendar Items, Notes, and Messages, navigate to the folder that contains the 
item you want to send, select the item, and then click Open.
