Connecting An Ir Device - Motorola ML900 HK1223 Owner's Manual

Connecting an IR Device

Your computer has an IR (infrared) port for connecting an
infrared-equipped device wirelessly such as another computer, printer, or
PDA (Personal Digital Assistant).
Follow this procedure to connect an IR device:
1. Under Windows, make sure that the IrDA Fast Infrared Port is set to
HP HSDL-2300/3600.
2. Make sure that the "COM Ports" and its "COM2 (FIR) Settings"
items are set properly in the SCU program. (See "Advanced Menu"
in Chapter 5 for information.)
3. When using the IR port:
Place the transmitting device where its IR port faces the IR port of
your computer within the effective range − within ±20-degrees
vertical angle and within ±20-degrees horizontal angle at no greater
than 0.8~1.0 meter distance.
Place the receiving device where the IR port of your computer faces
its IR port within the effective range − within ±15-degrees vertical
angle and within ±15-degrees horizontal angle at no greater than
0.8~1.0 meter distance.
4. To take advantage of IR communications, you need a third party
software.

Do not move the computer and IR device.
