To beam between two Pocket PCs, you simply align the two infrared ports, and then on the device that is sending information, you choose the information you want to beam. You can choose to beam contacts, appointments, notes, tasks, or files. To initiate the sending of information, you select the item that you want to send by tapping and holding the stylus on that item. For example, if you wanted to beam a particular contact on your iPAQ, you would select the contact and then tap and hold the stylus to produce the shortcut menu shown next.
The sending iPAQ will immediately begin searching for another Pocket PC to send the information to. If you have a Pocket PC 2002 or 2003 system to receive the information, it will automatically detect the beamed information and allow you to begin receiving the information. If you are running Pocket PC 2000, you will need to explicitly set your iPAQ into receive mode by running the Infrared Receive program found in the Programs folder.
