Infrared Receive

Using Infrared Receive (IR), you can send and receive information, such as contacts and
appointments, between two Windows-powered devices.
To send information:
1. Open the program where you created the item you want to send and locate the item
in the list.
2. Align the IR ports so that they are unobstructed and within close range.
3. Tap and hold the item, and tap Beam [item] on the pop-up menu.
Note: You can also send items, but not folders, from File Explorer. Tap and
hold the item, then tap Beam File on the pop-up menu.
To receive information, align the IR ports so that they are unobstructed and within close
range. When information is sent from the other device, the terminal receives it
automatically.
Note: In order for IR receive to work automatically, you must first check the
Receive all incoming beams and select discoverable mode
checkbox in Start/Settings/Connections/Beam. If this box is not
checked, select Start Programs Infrared Receive before receiving
data from another device.
