I can't seem to receive beams from other people.

  • Enable Beam Receive

  • Turn the Zaurus on

Even if Beam Receive is enabled, the Zaurus can't listen to the IR port unless it's turned on! (Push and hold the http://www.oesf.org/faq/images/key_cancel.png button to wake it up.)

  • PocketPC users must beam from index

How do I beam files/documents from my Zaurus?

  • Tap-and-hold the document icon

In the 'Documents' tab of the Launcher, tap the icon of the file you wish to beam, and keep the stylus pressed on the screen for a few moments ('tap-and-hold'). A window will pop-up which includes a 'Beam' button at the bottom.
