Your G18 is equipped with an infrared (IR) port that supports the IrCOMM
implementation of the standards for infrared communication established by
the Infrared Data Association (IrDA). This means that you can beam data
to any other device that supports the IrCOMM implementation of the IrDA
standards. Most importantly, you can use the IR port to perform HotSync
operations. You don't need a HotSync cable to do this. This is very useful if
you travel with an infrared-enabled laptop. You simply enable infrared
communication on your laptop and Z3 and follow the steps in "Performing
an IR HotSync operation" later in this section.

Preparing your computer for IRDA communication

Before you can perform a HotSync operation using the IR port, the
computer you want to synchronize with must meet the following
requirements:
• The computer must support the IrCOMM implementation of the
IrDA standards.
• The computer must have an enabled infrared port built-in, or an
enabled infrared device attached to the computer. Desktop
computers are likely to require an infrared device attached to a
physical COM port. Laptops are likely to have a built-in IR port.
• Your desktop computer will need to have an installed driver for the
external infrared device .For driver installation, please browse
the user manual of the IR device .
Please also check the manual of your computer and determine
whether your computer supports infrared communication.
