INFRARED PORT

The Infrared IrDA 1.1 (4Mbps) port allows for wireless
data transfer between your LifeBook notebook and
other IrDA-compatible devices, such as another
computer or a printer, without the use of a cable. (See
Figure 2-5 on page 10 for location)
It is important to keep in mind that while carrying out
this form of communication, both devices must be
placed so their infrared ports are directly facing each
other without obstruction. The devices must also be
separated by at least 6" but no more than 36" for
maximum performance.
The following conditions may interfere with infrared
communications:
A television, radio remote control unit, or a wireless
headphone is being used nearby.
Direct sunlight, fluorescent light, or incandescent light
shines directly on the port.
C A U T I O N
Do not move either device while communication is
active as it may interrupt data transmission.
C A U T I O N
Be careful not to scratch the infrared port lens.
Scratches, dirt, or other surface marks can
degrade operation.
P O I N T
With Windows 98 Second Edition, you can use the
Infrared Recipient application for infrared file transfers.
LapLink 2000 software can also be used for infrared file
transfers.
With Windows 2000 Professional and Windows Me, file
transfer is provided through Wireless Link in the Control
Panel.
