7. APPENDIX A. USING DIFFERENT CONNECTION TYPES
7.1 USING AN INFRARED CONNECTION
You can use infrared to connect a compatible phone to a compatible PC. Note that in
Windows 2000 and Windows XP the infrared connection is called Wireless Link.
When connecting via infrared, there must be no obstructions between the two devices. The
IR ports of the two devices must point at each other. The preferable distance between the
two devices is one metre at most.
To be able to use an infrared connection with Windows 2000 and Windows XP, you must first
disable the Image Transfer application in the Wireless Link software.

Nokia PC Suite icon in the PC's Status area.
