Finding the Infrared Ports

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

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 and the NEO Clipboard

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 8-10).

Beaming from a NEO to a Palm OS Device

You can beam AlphaWord Plus files to Palm OS devices, such as Dana or

Dana Wireless or typical hand-held Palm OS devices.

You can beam to AlphaWord on Dana or Dana Wireless, or you can beam

AlphaWord files to the Memo Pad program. Before following the step

below, use the Beamer settings to set whether the file will be sent

as an AlphaWord file or a Memo Pad file. See page 8-10.
