Your phone is capable of interacting with, or connecting to a variety of
devices using IR (infrared) or the DLR-3P serial cable.
Your phone can exchange information with other phones, desktop and
laptop PCs, and handheld devices. Your phone can also function as a
wireless modem when connected to PCs and handheld devices.

interfere with other IR devices.

• INFRARED BASICS

Your phone can send and receive certain types of data by way of the phone's
infrared (IR) port. Transmission and reception must be to or from an Infrared
Data Association (IrDA) compatible phone or device.
Your Nokia phone is a Class 1 Laser Product.
Tip: The preferable distance between two devices in an infrared
connection is from 3 inches to 3 feet. There must be no obstructions
between the two devices and both IR ports must be pointed at
each other.
