Beaming data
Your handheld is equipped with an infrared (IR) port that is located at the top of
the handheld, behind the small dark shield. The IR port supports the IrCOMM
implementation of the standards for infrared communication established by the
Infrared Data Association (IrDA). This means that not only can you beam data to
another Palm OS
®
handheld that’s close by and is equipped with an IR port, but
you can also beam data to a mobile phone and to any other device that supports
the IrCOMM implementation of the IrDA standards and that can read the type of
data you’re beaming.
NOTE
You cannot beam data between your Tungsten C handheld and a Palm VIIx
handheld.
You can beam the following information between devices with an IR port:
■ The record currently displayed in Date Book, Address Book, To Do List,
Note Pad, Palm Photos, or Memo Pad
■ All records of the category currently displayed in Address Book, To Do List,
Note Pad, Palm Photos, or Memo Pad
■ A special Address Book record that you designate as your business card,
containing information you want to exchange with business contacts
■ An application installed in RAM memory
■ An application installed on an expansion card that is seated in the card slot
TIP
You can also perform HotSync
®
operations using the IR port.
See “Conducting IR HotSync operations” in Chapter 17 for details.
