Infrared Interface; Instructions For Using The Ir Port - Medion NOTEBOOK COMPUTER Manual

NFRARED NTERFACE
The infrared port is located on the left side of the Notebook.
The IR port corresponds to the "IrDA Serial Infrared Data Link
Version 1.1" standard. It is used for wireless point-to-point
communication.
You can use SIR/FIR applications in order to exchange files with
other devices which are IR-aware. If the mode setting does not
match that of the communicating device, you must set the nec-
essary mode in the BIOS. FIR (Fast Infrared) supports up to 4
Mbps and SIR (Serial Infrared) up to 115.2Kbps.
At present, the interface can be used to link up with other
computers, peripherals and a number of PDA's (Personal
Digital Assistants). The Notebook identifies the infrared port
as a serial port.

NSTRUCTIONS FOR
When using IR be sure to follow these instructions:
• Make sure that the desired IR mode has been set in the
BIOS set-up.
• The angle between the two IR ports should not be greater
than ±15°.
• Align the devices in such a way that the two infrared inter-
faces are at the same height and exactly opposite each other.
• Distance between devices should not be more than 1 meter.
• Do not move either of the devices during IR data transfer.
• In environments with a lot of noise or vibration, data trans-
fer may be defective.
• Keep a safe distance from direct sunlight, lightning, incan-
descent and fluorescent light and other infrared devices such
as remote controllers.
IMPORTANT: If you do not require the infrared for
long periods, please deactivate the infrared function in
the control panel in order to save on Windows re-
sources.
