accomplished several ways:
To send, receive, or exchange business cards:
1. From Internet Explorer, My Bluetooth Places, right-click the “PIM Item Transfer” service on a
remote device and select the appropriate option.
or
In the Windows system tray, right-click the Bluetooth icon, select “Quick Connect > Business Card
Exchange”, select a device from the list, select the appropriate option from the shortcut menu, and
then click “OK”.
2. From Internet Explorer, My Bluetooth Places, highlight the “PIM Item Transfer” service on a
remote device, and then, from the Bluetooth menu on the Windows menu bar, select the
appropriate action.
In addition to the business-card options listed above, you can also send Notes (*.vnt), E-mail
(*.vmg), and Calendar (*.vcs) items from this menu.

time-out notice.

you to set a default business card, which will be sent automatically when requests are received.
