INFRA-RED TRANSFER

The Infra-red transfer feature allows you to transfer your Card Files to/from another 32K Electronic Rolodex File, or to/from an IBM
®
or compatible computer. You can also transfer Card Files to and from a compatible Rolodex product. These instructions only describe the 32K Electronic Rolodex File's portion of the transfer. For further instructions, please refer to your PC Link manual or to the instruction manual for a compatible Rolodex product.
Before you begin an Infra-red transfer, check the amount of memory remaining in the Receiving unit. The amount of memory avail­able in the receiving unit needs to be about 2K more than the amount of memory being transferred. If there is not enough memory in the Receiving unit to store the transferred files, some of the files will not be stored. (The files are stored in alphabetical order. So, if there is not enough memory in the receiving unit to store all of the transferred files, those at the end of the alphabet will not be stored.)
Note: A transferred file is not erased from the sending unit. It is only copied to the receiving unit.
61
Please read the entire Infra-red Transfer section before attempting to perform an infra-red transfer.
