Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9833286A1] Data transfert apparatus comprises a hand-positionable unit (21), electrically-connected by a flexible electrical lead (24) to an interface device (22). The unit (21) is located on the top of an electronic device to receive recorded data transmitted from the device in the form of pulses of optical electromagnetic radiation (specifically infrared radiation). The data is then transferred by the interface device (22) to one or more external devices, for example a computer or a printer. When not in use, the hand-positionable unit (21) is stowed on a seat (34) on the interface device (22).
