the chapter "Important notes", section "Safety precautions when using radio components".

Wireless data transfer with infrared interface

The infrared interface (IrDA) permits wireless serial data transfer with up to 115 kbits/s.
For data transfer, you must align the infrared interface of your Pocket PC with that of the partner
device. The devices must not be more than one metre apart. The infrared interface of one device
must be in the range of influence (horizontally approx. 30 ° and vertically approx. 15 °) of the infrared
interface of the other device.
The infrared interface is simultaneously a consumer infrared interface (CIR). The CIR interface can
transmit over greater distances. As a result, you can also use the Pocket PC as a remote control
with suitable software.

Wireless connection via Wireless LAN

Your Pocket PC is equipped with an integrated wireless LAN. Information on this topic is provided in
the help file on your Pocket PC.
You can also activate and deactivate the integrated Wireless LAN just as you wish.
