EVICES

Your iQue M5 can connect to other handheld devices using Infrared (IR) or Bluetooth technology. Once connected, you can “beam” 

your contact files, appointments, notes, and many other types of files easily, without cords and cables. Beaming means sending 

data electronically from one device to another. For more information on using Bluetooth technology, refer to 

Using IR, you can send files from Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, File Explorer, Pocket Word, and Pocket Excel. From within any of 

these applications, you can simply tap Tools and then Beam to beam a file to another device. You can also tap and hold on a file 

name and select Beam from the drop-down menu. Make sure that the Infrared ports are lined up and that there are no objects 

between them.
