range. When information is sent from the other mobile computer, the mobile computer (if configured) receives
it automatically.
1. In order to receive information automatically, tap Start > Settings > Connection tab > Beam icon. The Beam
window appears.

prompted to accept it. In this case, before the beam is sent from the older mobile computer, tap Receive
an infrared beam at the bottom of the Beam window.
