Beaming information

Your WorkPad c3 companion is equipped with an IR (infrared) port that you can use to beam information to another WorkPad PC companion that is close by and also has an IR port. The IR port is located at the top of the companion, behind the small dark shield.

You can beam the following information between WorkPad PC companions:

The record currently displayed in Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, or Memo Pad

All records of the category currently displayed in Address Book, To Do List, 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

To select a business card:

1.Create an Address Book record that contains the information you want on your business card.

2.Tap the Menu icon .

3.Tap Record, and then tap Select Business Card.

4.Tap Yes.

To beam a record, business card, or category of records:
