INFRARED PORT
The Infrared IrDA 1.1 (4Mbps) port allows for wireless
data transfer between your notebook and other IrDA-
compatible devices, such as another computer or a
printer, without the use of a cable. (See figure 2-8 on
page 14 for location)
It is important to keep in mind that while carrying out
this form of communication, both devices must be
placed so their infrared ports are directly facing each
other without obstruction. The devices must also be
separated by at least 6" but no more than 36" for
maximum performance.
The following conditions may interfere with infrared
communications:
■
A television, radio remote control unit, or a wireless
headphone is being used nearby.
■
Direct sunlight, fluorescent light, or incandescent light
shines directly on the port.
POINT
A mouse, keyboard, or keypad may be installed and
automatically recognized by your notebook without
restarting or changing setups.
POINT
The use of two PS/2 devices simultaneously from the
port requires a PS/2 splitter.
CAUTION
Due to the ongoing changes in USB technology
and standards, not all USB devices and/or drivers
are guaranteed to work.
CAUTION
Do not move either device while communication is
active as it may interrupt data transmission.
CAUTION
Be careful not to scratch the infrared port lens.
Scratches, dirt, or other surface marks can
degrade operation.
