Important:
If the receiving device is a brand new device running
AlphaWord Plus, or is a device that has AlphaWord Plus newly
installed on it, you need to perform an important step before you use
Beamer for the very first time. Make sure to turn on the device and
start AlphaWord Plus before starting Beamer. Doing so ensures that
AlphaWord Plus “initializes,” meaning that it sets itself up to receive
beamed files correctly. You only need to initialize the device once.
