Sending data To receive beamed information: 1. Turn on your handheld. 2. Point the IR port directly at the IR port of the transmitting device to open the Beam dialog box. 3. (Optional) Tap the category pick list and select a category for the incoming information. You can also create a new category or leave the information unfiled. 4. Tap Yes. Sending data In addition to beaming data, you can also use e-mail or SMS communication to send information to and receive information from other devices. The CD-ROM that comes with your handheld includes e-mail and Telephony/SMS applications that you can use to share information with other devices that are enabled with e-mail or SMS technology. NOTE Although you can exchange some forms of data with SMS communication, you cannot use SMS communication to send or receive photos. If you only want to share e-mail messages between your handheld and your desktop computer, you simply need to install the e-mail application from the CD-ROM. However, if you want to send and receive e-mail messages directly to and from your handheld, you also need an Internet service provide (ISP) account and a compatible mobile phone or modem accessory (sold separately). For additional information, see Chapter 13. To use your handheld for SMS communication, you need to install the Telephony/ SMS applications from the CD-ROM and you need a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) mobile phone (sold separately). For additional information, see the SMS Handbook on the CD-ROM. Using your computer keyboard If you have a lot of data to enter, or prefer to use the computer keyboard, you can use Palm™ Desktop software or any supported personal information manager (PIM) to enter information on your desktop computer. You can then perform a HotSync operation to synchronize the information on your computer with the information on your handheld. Many of the applications that came with your handheld are also available in Palm Desktop software and in most PIMs, so you don't need to learn different applications. For more information on entering data on your computer, refer to the online Help in Palm Desktop software (for Windows users) and the Palm Desktop Software for the Macintosh User's Guide on the Software Installation CD-ROM (for Macintosh users). 27
