Infrared Communications

The notebook is IrDA-compliant—4 megabits per second (Mbps)
standard—and can communicate with another infrared-equipped
device that is also IrDA-compliant.
The infrared port supports both low-speed connections of up to
115 kilobits per second (Kbps) and high-speed connections of up
to 4 Mbps. Infrared performance may vary depending on the
performance of infrared peripherals, distance between infrared
devices, and applications used.
Infrared signals are sent through an invisible beam of infrared
light and require an unobstructed line-of-sight path.
