Sending Files to Your Computer

. . . . .

If your computer has a built-in IR transceiver, of if it has an IR pod attached, 
you can send files from your NEO to the computer without using cables. NEO 
can be up to three feet (one meter) away while transferring text to and from a 
computer or printer.

To beam files from your NEO to the computer, you must have either the 
AlphaBeam program or the Get Utility installed. For more information, see 
page 18.

To beam text to a computer using AlphaBeam, follow these steps:

1. Turn on your NEO and open the file you want to send.
2. Start the AlphaBeam program on your computer:

Windows: Click Start or  

 AlphaSmart  AlphaBeam.

Macintosh: Open the AlphaBeam program folder and double-click 
AlphaBeam 3.x.

3. Point the infrared lens of the NEO toward the IR transceiver as shown 

above. Your computer’s transceiver may be elsewhere on the computer, 
or it may be a separate IR pod.

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.) Place your cursor where 
you want the text to begin to ensure your program is the active window 
and ready to receive text.
