Chapter Data Communication Data communications capabilities let you transfer data between two CASIO PV Units, between a PV Unit and a BN-10/BN-20 Unit, or between a PV Unit and a BN-10A/BN-20A/BN-40A Unit. You can also receive data from a CASIO SF, CSF, or NX Series Unit, and communicate with a personal computer using PC sync for Windows.
Chapter 11 Data Communication To detach the PV Unit from the cradle 1. Turn off PV Unit power. 2. Lift up on the PV Unit while holding down the cradle’s Release button. Release button Data Communications Between Two PV Units This section describes how to set up and communicate between two PV Units.
