2. Tap the Menu icon .
3. Tap one of the following from the Record menu:
– The Beam command for an individual record.

– In Note Pad only: If you are beaming to someone using an earlier version of
Note Pad, tap Compatibility, and then tap Beam.

TIP
You can also press and hold the Address Book application button to
instantly beam your business card to another device with an IR port.
4. When the Beam Status dialog box appears, point the IR port directly at the IR
port of the receiving device.
For best results, Palm handhelds should be between 10 centimeters
(approximately 4 inches) and 1 meter (approximately 39 inches) apart, and the
path between the two handhelds must be clear of obstacles. The beaming
distance to other devices may be different.
5. Wait for the Beam Status dialog box to indicate that the transfer is complete
before you continue working on your handheld.
