Sharing information
Your smartphone comes equipped
with a variety of options for sharing
information, so that you can choose the
quickest, most convenient way to send
your info or to receive info from another
device.
•When you have a file open in a program
such as Notes or PowerPoint Mobile,
you can easily share a file by selecting
the Menu, and then selecting Send via
E-Mail or Beam File.
•In Microsoft Outlook®, you can insert a
picture or attach a note or other file to
an email. You can also receive pictures
and attachments (see Your email).
•You can synchronize to share info
between your smartphone and your
computer or between your smartphone
and Microsoft Exchange Server 2003
(see Synchronizing information).
•If you are near someone, you can beam
files and applications between your
smartphone and your neighbor’s device
using the IR port or Bluetooth® wireless
technology (see Beaming information).
•You can also store files on an expansion
card and share the expansion card (see
Using expansion cards).
Beaming information
Your smartphone is equipped with an IR
(infrared) port that enables you to beam
information to another device with an IR
port. The IR port is located on the side of
your smartphone closest to the stylus, near
the top. You can also beam using the
built-in Bluetooth wireless technology on
your smartphone.
The normal range for beaming with IR is
about 20 centimeters (8 inches). The
maximum range for beaming with
Bluetooth technology is about 10 meters
(30 feet). Performance and range are
affected by physical obstacles, radio
interference from nearby electronic
equipment, and other factors.

layer).
Check with your company’s system
administrator to see if a VPN is required to
access the corporate network. If you need
a VPN, you must purchase and install a
third-party VPN client to use this feature.
Before you begin setting up a VPN, ask
your system administrator for the following
information:
•Your username and password
•Your server’s domain name
•Your server’s TCP/IP settings
•Your server’s host name or IP address
1Install your third-party VPN client (see

turn it on again.
2On your computer, click Start > Control
Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
3Remove Microsoft ActiveSync if it is on
your computer.
4Quit any active applications, including

Performing a hard reset
A hard reset erases all personal
information, such as appointments,
contacts, and tasks, as well as programs
you have added, such as third-party
software on your smartphone. Never do a
hard reset without first trying a soft reset.
You can restore previously synchronized
information the next time you sync.
IMPORTANT Synchronize to restore your
Outlook data, such as Outlook email,
Calendar, Contacts, Notes, and Tasks. You
can use a backup and restore solution
(make sure it’s an application that’s
approved by Palm, such as the one
included on the Windows Mobile Getting
Started Disc) to restore configurations and
preferences such as speed-dials, SMS
entries, call log information, and personal
settings.
