Beam Receive
You can choose to turn off the Beam Receive feature. This prohibits anyone from beaming information to your handheld. It also results in a slight saving of battery power.
To change the Beam Receive setting:
■Tap the Beam Receive pick list and select On or Off.
Connection preferences
The Connection Preferences screen enables you to define the settings used to perform different types of HotSync operations. The screen displays a list of available configurations that are ready to be further defined; the list varies depending on the kind of software you’ve added to your handheld.
For example, a modem connection appears on the list. If you have this modem, you only need to specify the phone setup (and network connection — if required) to complete the configuration.
Note: For information about modems that are compatible with your handheld, go to the web site: http://www.palm.com.
You can also create custom configurations. There are four possible kinds of connections.
Serial to PC: A local HotSync connection: the direct serial connection between your handheld and your computer. Your handheld is connected by its serial port to the HotSync cradle/cable, and the cradle/cable is attached to a serial (COM) port of your computer.
Serial to Modem: A connection between a modem attached to the serial port of your handheld and a modem that is part of your computer.
IrCOMM to PC: A connection between the IR port of your handheld and the infrared device of your computer.
IrCOMM to Modem: A connection between the IR port of your handheld and a modem. The modem can be attached to a computer or some other device containing an IR port such as a cell phone.
