• 4: Fastest. This setting provides the quickest transfers. However,
some word processing programs may lose data when files are
transferred using this speed, so you might want to experiment to see
which speed works best for you.

the transfer speed only when the NEO is not connected.)
2. Press ctrl-option-a-S and type the number for one of these options:
• 1: Fastest speed. This setting provides the quickest IR transfers.
However, some programs may lose data when files are transferred
using this speed, so you might want to experiment to see which speed
works best for you.
• 2: Compatibility speed. This setting is compatible with all computers
and most programs.
