Tip

If you are unable to send information to another handheld, try moving closer to the receiving handheld.

Using the Send command

You can send information from within an application—such as a photo or video, a contact, or an appointment—to other Palm OS® handheld users. You can also send a category of information or even an entire application.

You can use the Send command in many applications to send information wirelessly using one of the following methods:

•Using the built-in Bluetooth® wireless technology on your handheld

•As an attachment to an email message

•As part of a text message

Sending information from within an application using Bluetooth technology

You can use your handheld’s built-in Bluetooth technology to send information directly to another handheld that includes Bluetooth technology. You must be within range of the receiving handheld to send information using Bluetooth technology. The maximum range is approximately 25–30 feet (8–10 meters); however, the shorter the range, the more quickly and accurately you can send information.
