  Bluetooth
• Before students send files, set up folders for
  each class. To guide you through this process,
  view the PowerPoint named Managing Bluetooth
  Folders.
• The above PowerPoint will also guide you in
  changing the folders each hour.
• Students must enable Bluetooth on their Palm
  before sending a file. Prefs gt Communication gt
  Bluetooth gt On gt Add their name gt Discoverable
  Yes. If Allow Wakeups is listed, always set this

  computer. When sending MS Office documents, they
  must send them in Native format.

• Bluetooth tips continued
• To Bluetooth a file from your computer to a
  handheld, you should use Trusted Devices. To
  guide you though this process, view the
  PowerPoint named Using Bluetooth to Connect
  Handhelds and Bluetooth Enabled Devices.
• When sending files via Bluetooth to many
  students, it is easiest to send the file from a
  handheld rather than from a computer.
