Beamer can be used with devices that have infrared capabilities. Before you
begin, locate the infrared port on each device you'll be using. On NEO, the
port is in the middle of the back of the device as shown below.
You'll need to know where the port is on each device you're using so that you
can point the ports at each other when you beam.
On Palm OS devices such as the Dana, the port may be located along the side
or top. Consult the documentation that accompanied your product for more
information.
Beamer uses the clipboard to receive data before placing it into a SmartApplet
such as AlphaWord Plus. If you already have data in the clipboard, Beamer
will warn you before receiving a beam. This gives you a chance to save the
data on the clipboard in another file before you agree to receive the beam.
For example, text that you have copied from AlphaWord Plus may be in the
clipboard, and you may not have copied it into another file yet. The warning
gives you the chance to do this before overwriting the clipboard with the
beamed information.
If you're beaming frequently, you might not want to be warned about
clipboard data each time. In this case, you would turn this setting off in the
Beamer settings (see page 6-12).
