Beaming information

Your smartphone is equipped with an IR (infrared) port that enables you to beam information to another device with an IR port. The IR port is located on the side of your smartphone closest to the stylus, near the top. You can also beam using the Bluetooth wireless technology on your smartphone.

The normal range for beaming with IR is about 20 centimeters (eight inches). The maximum range for beaming with Bluetooth technology is about 10 meters (30 feet). Performance and range are affected by physical obstacles, radio interference from nearby electronic equipment, and other factors.

TIP For best results, the path between the two devices must be clear of obstacles, and both devices kept stationary. If you have difficulty beaming, shorten the distance and avoid bright sunlight.

DID YOU KNOW? The type of information you can beam depends on the type of device you are beaming to. Other Windows Mobile 6 Professional devices are always compatible with your Treo Pro smartphone.
