Beaming information
To beam information
1. Locate the entry you want to beam.
2. Tap to open the menus.
3. From the Record menu, tap Beam.
4. Point the infrared port (at the top of the back panel) at the infrared port of the receiving device.
For best results, the devices should be from 5 to 30 centimeters (approximately 2 to 12 inches)
apart, and the path between the two devices must be clear of obstacles.
5. Wait for the Beam Status dialog to indicate that the transfer is complete before you continue
working on the phone.
TIP: To quickly beam your business card, just press and hold the Address Book key for a few seconds.
To receive beamed information
Before you can receive beamed information, the beam receive feature must be turned on. See “To
turn the beam receive feature on or off” on page 66. Point the infrared port directly at the infrared
port of the transmitting device to open the Beam Status dialog.
1. Tap Yes to accept the transmission.
2. Wait for the Beam Status dialog to indicate that the transfer is complete, then tap OK to display
the new entry.
Troubleshooting the Beam feature
Beamed data does not work
■ Verify that the Beam feature is enabled (on the General Preferences screen). See “To turn the
beam receive feature on or off” on page 66.
■ Verify that the path between the two devices is clear of obstacles.
■ Try using the Beam feature at different distances. The usual distance for beaming information
is between five centimeters (approximately 2 inches) and one meter (approximately 40 inches).
However, in some cases, you may find that greater or lesser distances work more effectively.
When data is beamed at the phone, an out-of-memory message appears
■ The Kyocera 7135 smartphone requires at least twice the amount of memory available as the
data you are receiving. For example, if you are receiving a 30K application, you must have at
least 60K free.
