Things You’ll Need:

  • Dell Axim

Choose a file for beaming. Browse through folders until you locate the file you want to send.
Step3
Tap and hold the file name until a menu appears. Click on “Beam File.”
Step4
Select a recipient. A list of available Bluetooth devices should appear. Select the recipient and beaming should begin.
Step5
Explore another device. Open the "Bluetooth Manager." Tap “New," and then select “Explore a Bluetooth Device.” Tap “Next.”
Step6
Select the PDA you want to access. You should receive a list of all Bluetooth devices. Select one and hit “Next.”

Tips & Warnings

  • Bluetooth doesn’t require a line of sight, but for best results point the upper left corners of the devices at each other.
  • You can connect to desktop computers and mobile phones with Bluetooth technology using the same method.
  • Beware of viruses! Only exchange files with people you trust.
