1.Copy the mactfer.exe file from the supplied floppy disk to the Macintosh hard drive.

2.Scan the following bar code to make sure the portable’s serial communications parameters are set to the defaults:

3.Connect the Macintosh cable to the PT Dock.

4.Connect the other end of the serial cable to the cable input jack on the bottom of the portable.

5.Plug the mini-DIN end of the Macintosh cable into the Macintosh modem port. The modem port is marked: *$+$-C8EE*

6.Start the MACTFER program on the Macintosh. An untitled window appears for displaying received or transferred data.

7.To upload a file from the portable to the Macintosh, select File > Receive and use the Receive File dialog box to specify the name and location of the file to store the data in. Then select options on the portable to upload the data into the specified Macintosh file.
