alignment, and make sure the receiving device is in the proper mode
to accept a beam. For Palm OS devices, you usually don’t have to do

I received an error when I tried to beam a file.
You might receive an error if the transfer process was interrupted.
There are a few reasons why this might happen. For example, the
person receiving the beam might have cancelled the transfer before
the beam was complete. Or, users might have moved the devices
being used, causing the infrared ports to move out of alignment
before the beam was complete.

Try beaming the file again.
