Windows 2000/Xp; Windows Nt4.0; Windows Me/98Se/98/95 - GE PM880 Operations & Installation Manual

August 2003
*May require QuickBeam installation under some circumstances
when Windows built-in support fails. QuickBeam is a recom-
mended infrared file software transfer utility from Extended Sys-
tems, Inc. Since Windows NT4.0 does not provide built-in support
for IR file transfer, QuickBeam is necessary with this operating sys-
tem.

Windows 2000/XP

Both Windows 2000 and XP include infrared drivers in their
operating systems. From the Control Panel, click on Add New
Hardware and select the appropriate IR port, whether built-in or
using an external dongle.

Windows NT4.0

For IR use, Windows NT4.0 requires installation of QuickBeam
software from Extended Systems (www.extendedsystems.com).
Desktop PCs and laptops without built-in IR ports also require
adding an IR dongle. While laptops with a built-in IR port
normally do not require a dongle, its addition might be necessary
in some cases.

Windows Me/98SE/98/95

The Windows 98SE and Me operating systems include IR
drivers. However, in most cases, the IR port has not been
installed or configured. From the Control Panel, click on Add
New Hardware and select Choose Device From List. Select
Infrared from the list and then select the appropriate infrared
port, whether built-in or external.
Note: In some instances, the infrared port must be enabled in
the BIOS of your PC. Consult your computer
documentation, manufacturer or MIS department.
