Beaming problems
Problem Solution
I cannot beam data to another
device with an IR port.
NOTE
The IR communications feature is not compatible with
the Palm VIIx handheld.
Try each of these in turn:
■ If you are beaming to another Palm handheld, confirm that
your handheld and the other handheld are between ten
centimeters (approximately 4") and one meter
(approximately 39") apart and that the path between the
two handhelds is clear of obstacles. Beaming distance to
other devices with an IR port may be different.
■ Move your handheld closer to the receiving device.
■ Make sure the receiving device has enabled beam receive.
When someone beams data to
my handheld, I get a message
telling me it is out of memory.
Try each of these in turn:
■ Your handheld requires at least twice the amount of
memory available as the data you are receiving. For
example, if you are receiving a 30KB application, you must
have at least 60KB free.
■ Perform a soft reset. See “Performing a soft reset” in
Appendix A for more information.
