Ericsson MC 218 - Infrared

Working with the MC 218 32
Note! If a Memory disk contains additional programs, their icons will
automatically appear in the Extras bar when you insert the disk. They will be
removed from the Extras bar when you take out the disk.
To delete all the files on a Memory disk:
• Put it in the slot, and then select Format disk on the Disk menu; select ‘D’
as the Disk in the Format disk dialog.
Warning! Do not format the C disk - this will remove all the files you have
stored on the MC 218’s Internal disk, and remove all the preferences and
settings that you have set up.
Programs
If you wish to run a translated OPL program, locate the file in the Desktop
screen, highlight the filename and tap it or press Enter to run it.
The MC 218 has infrared functionality built-in, allowing you to transfer
selected information to another MC 218 without the use of a cable.
You can also use the infrared link to print directly to printers which support
infrared - see the “Printing” section for more details.
Note! Ensure that the Link setting in the Remote link dialog is set to Infrared
on both MC 218s before you start.
Selecting data to transfer
On the machine from which information is to be transferred (the ‘sending
machine’), select the information you want to transfer:
• If the information is a file, ensure that the file is closed and highlight the
filename on the Desktop screen. Hold down the Shift key and tap
additional filenames if you want to transfer more than one file.
• If the information is an object already inserted from another program, e.g.
a graph displayed in Word, just select the object. If the inserted object is
displayed as an icon, you can just select the icon.
• If the information is an Calendar or Data entry, open the appropriate file
and move the cursor to the required entry.
• If you wish to transfer a graph, highlight the cell contents in Sheet view.
Graphs cannot be transferred direct from one Sheet file to another, only the
cell contents. Relative and absolute cell references are preserved.
• Otherwise, open the file from which the selected information is to be
transferred, and select the required information (e.g. the piece of text,
range of spreadsheet cells, sketch area).
Note! Objects can be transferred like other information. They appear as
objects on the receiving machine.
Transferring the information
This is how you transfer information between two MC 218.
