remote device and select the appropriate option. or In the Windows system tray, right-click the
Bluetooth icon, select Quick Connect Business Card Exchange, select a device from the list,
select the appropriate option from the shortcut menu, and then click OK.
2. From Windows Explorer, My Bluetooth Places, highlight the PIM Item Transfer service on a
remote device, and then, from the Bluetooth menu on the Windows menu bar, select the
appropriate action.
In addition to the business card options listed above, you can also send Notes (*.vnt), Email
(*.vmg) and Calendar (*.vcs) items from this menu.
3. From within a supported Personal Information Manager, select one or more items and then,
from the PIM's File menu, select Send to Bluetooth.
Whether sent items are accepted by the remote device is determined by how the remote device's
PIM Item Transfer service is configured.

timeout notice.

you to set a default business card, which will be sent automatically when requests are received.

cards that the application has specifically requested via its "Receive" or "Exchange"
functions.
