Making default business card available
Before your business card can be transferred to a remote device, it needs to be included as a service on your Local Services bar. This will allow remote users to pull your business card, i.e. transfer it to their devices. Also, you can push the business card yourself, i.e. transfer it to remote devices. Finally, pulling and pushing can take place in one and the same operation: exchanging business cards. This can be done by both you and a remote user.
If Microsoft Outlook is installed on your computer, you can create a business card in Contacts, and then drag it into the Bluetooth Neighborhood. If Microsoft Outlook is not installed, you can use the Object Editor. Both ways of making your default business card available on the Local Services bar will be explained in the following.
From Microsoft Outlook
- Open both the Bluetooth Neighborhood and Microsoft Outlook.
- Arrange the Bluetooth Neighborhood and Microsoft Outlook, Contacts windows so that both are visible on the screen:
- Drag the item containing your own contact information into the Local Services bar:
A new icon on the Local Services bar shows that your default business card is now available for transfer to remote devices:
From the Object Editor
An alternative way of registering your default business card is by means of the Object Editor.
To open the Object Editor:
- On the Bluetooth menu, point to Profile Properties, and click OBEX Object Push.
The OBEX Object Push Properties dialog box opens:
- At the top of the dialog box, click the tab Object Push Settings.
- In the item Default Business Card, click the button Create New. The Object Editor opens:
- In the Object Editor, type the information you want to include in your default business card. You can include information about your name and one or more e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, and addresses.
- To save the business card: On the Object Editor File menu, click Save.
- To quit the Object Editor: Click the OK button. You will now return to the dialog box OBEX Object Push Properties – Object Push Settings. Here you will see the name of your default business card, which is the same as the name typed in the Object Editor.
If you want to view or edit the default location of the business card, click the ” … ” button.
- To complete the creation of the new default business card: Click the OK button.

Editing an existing business card in the Object
Editor:
As appears from the information above, the Object Editor can be used to create a new default business card. Furthermore, you can use the Object Editor to edit an existing business card. The procedure is almost the same as that described above; however, in step 3, click Edit (instead of Create New).
