How to Beam Files Through the Infrared Port on a PDA

Beaming information via infrared technology is a quick and efficient way to send a file from your PDA to your PC, or to a friend's PDA. Instead of jotting down a bunch of contact information, you can receive it all in one file--or just send a pal a funny ringtone. If you follow these simple steps, you'll be swapping files in no time.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Use the file explorer to locate on the sending PDA the file you would like to transfer.

2. Align the sending infrared port with receiving port. Place the two devices on a table for the easiest alignment. (Holding them side-by-side works just fine, however.)

3. Use your stylus to click and hold on the file you want to transfer. When the menu box appears, click the option labeled "Beam File."

4. Accept the file on the receiving device.

Tips & Warnings

• Keep the ports steady and even as the data is being sent to avoid a failed attempt.
