Your mobile phone integrates the infrared technology
(also called IrDA), that allows you to send or receive
data to and from other IrDA-compliant devices
through a wireless link (e.g. another mobile phone, a
PC or PDA, a printer etc.).
Files that are copyright protected cannot be sent.
When connecting with a PC, make sure you have
activated its infrared option.
Position of devices
Before sending or receiving data to and from another
device, they must be correctly positioned in relation to
your mobile phone. Make sure that the IrDA ports are
facing each other and are a maximum of 50 cm away
from each other (see diagram). Also make sure that
nothing obstructs the IrDA beam.
