Sending Files Using Infrared (IR) Beaming
If your computer has a built-in IR transceiver, of if it has an IR pod attached,
you can send files from your NEO to the computer without using cables. NEO
can be up to three feet (one meter) away while transferring text to and from a
computer or printer.
To beam files from your NEO to the computer, you must have either the
AlphaBeam program or the Get Utility installed. For more information, see
page 18.
To beam text to a computer using AlphaBeam, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your NEO and open the file you want to send.
2. Start the AlphaBeam program on your computer:
• Windows: Click Start  Programs  AlphaSmart  AlphaBeam.
• Macintosh: Open the AlphaBeam program folder and double-click
AlphaBeam 3.x.
3. Point the infrared lens of the NEO toward the IR transceiver as shown
above. Your computer’s transceiver may be elsewhere on the computer,
or it may be a separate IR pod.
