Infrared
Your mobile phone integrates the infrared technology, which allows you to send or receive
data to and from other infrared-compliant devices through a wireless link (e.g. another mobile
phone, a PC or PDA, a printer, etc.).
Note:
1 Files that are copyright protected cannot be sent. When connecting with a PC, make sure
you have activated its infrared optioin.
2 Before sending or receiving data to and from another device, they must be correctly
positioned in relation to your mobile phone. Make sure that the infrared ports are facing each
other and are a maximum of 50 cm away from each other. Also make sure that nother
obstructs the infrared beam.
Send data
To send data via infrared from your mobile phone, you must first select the item to be sent:
when selecting a picture, a sound, a video clip, a name card, or an agenda event, a sub-menu
then gives you access to the Send by infrared option.
As soon as your phone finds anoher infrared-compliant device to communicate with, the
sending automatically takes place. Message are displayed on the screen, for you to follow the
process.

one. Press [OK] to confirm and to send the selected data.
Sending is cancelled if your phone cannot find another device before the time out is reached, if
the infrared link is broken, or if you cancel the process.
Receive data

and waits for aother infrared-compliant device to send it. When sending, messages are
displayed on the screen to allow you to follow the process.
Receiving is cancelled if your phone isn’t contacted by another device before the time out is
reached, if the infrared link is broken, if the size of the file sent is too large or if you cancel the
process.
