INFRARED PORT

The Infrared IrDA (4Mbps) port allows for wireless data
transfer between your notebook and other IrDA-
compatible devices, such as another computer or a
printer, without the use of a cable. (See figure 2-7 on
page 9 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.
P O I N T
■ Do not move either device while communication is
active as it may interrupt data transmission.
■ Be careful not to scratch the infrared port lens. Dirt,
scratches, or other surface marks can degrade
operation.
