Fast infrared
Your notebook’s fast infrared (FIR) port allows you to do wireless data transfer
with other IR-aware computers and peripheral devices such as PDAs (personal
digital assistants), mobile phones, and infrared printers. The infrared port can
transfer data at speeds of up to 4 Mb/s at a distance of up to one meter.
To use FIR, position two IR-aware devices so their IR ports are no more than
one meter apart and offset no more than 15 degrees.
When the two devices are in position, begin the data transfer as you normally
would. See your file transfer software for details.
