Abstract:
An apparatus for obtaining product documentation is attached to the product, and has a memory, an activation switch, and a transmitter. Upon activation, the transmitter retrieves document download instructions stored in the memory, and transmits the instructions via a short range wireless protocol to a portable processor based device. The processor based device then executes the document download instructions, with the result that the device is caused to connect to a data network, locate a specified data file, and download the data file.
