Using the IrDA Port
Use the IrDA Port to synchronize data transmission with a desktop computer,
portable printer, or another handheld device with an IrDA port. To use the IR
port, position the IR port of both devices towards each other.
Remove the protective shipping overlay from the IrDA port of both devices (if
applicable).
Figure C-7. Using the IrDA Port
IR connections are very sensitive to distance and angle, so it is best to aim and
position the IR ports as close as possible to each other.
In order to receive or send data, both devices must use the same software from which
the data is being beamed.
