Manager" on page 87 for more information.

Sending text with IR beaming

If you want to use infrared beaming with your Neo, see "If you want to
use IR" on page 16 for directions on how to set it up. (The section
also contains a table comparing what you can do with a USB
connection and what you can do with IR.) You must have an
IR-capable computer and install AlphaBeam™ (page 18) before you
can beam text to your computer.
It's easy to use IR to transfer files. The steps outlined here describe
how to use AlphaBeam, which is included on the CD that came with
your Neo.
To beam text to a computer:
1. Turn on your Neo and make sure you're in the file you want to
send.
2. Start the AlphaBeam application on your computer.
3. Point the infrared lens of the Neo toward the IR transceiver.
4. On your computer, open the file to which you want to send the
text (it can be a new file or a file that already has content), and
place your cursor where you want the text to begin. This should
be the last thing you do before going to step 5. This ensures your
application is the active window and ready to receive text.
