4.3 Infrared and Bluetooth Connection

Infrared

You can use infrared (IR) to send and receive information and files between mobile devices. If an IR port is installed on your PC, you can send and receive information and files between your T-Mobile MDA III and PC.

On your T-Mobile MDA III, tap > Settings > Connections tab > Beam.

By default your device detects incoming infrared (IR) and Bluetooth beams and prompts you to accept them. If you do not want your T-Mobile MDA III to detect or receive beams, clear the Receive all incoming beams check box.

NOTE: If someone attempts to send you an IR beam from an older device, you may not be prompted to accept it. In this case, before the beam is sent from the other device, tap Receive an infrared beam at the bottom of the Beam screen.

1.Make sure that your T-Mobile MDA III is configured to receive incoming beams.

2.Make sure that your T-Mobile MDA III is turned on, discoverable, and within 10 meters (about 30 feet) of the other device beaming the information.

3.When prompted to receive an incoming beam, tap Yes to accept the beam.
