18 Infrared
Your phone is capable if interacting with, or connecting to a variety of
devices using IR (infrared) or the DLR-3P serial cable.
Your phone can exchange information with other phones, desktop and
laptop PCs, and handheld devices. Your phone can also function as a
wireless modem when connected to PCs and handheld devices.
INFRARED BASICS
Your phone can send and receive certain types of data by way of the
phone’s infrared (IR) port. Transmission and reception must be to or from a
Infrared Data Association (IrDA) compatible phone or device.
Your Nokia phone is a Class 1 Laser Product.
Tip:The preferable distance between two devices in an infrared
connection is from 3 inches to 3 feet. There must be no
obstructions between the two devices and both IR ports
must be pointed at each other.

Before you can receive information (business cards, calendar or to-do list
notes) or make an infrared connection to a PC or handheld device:
1 Make sure that the IR ports of the two devices are pointing at each
other.
2 Press Menu 9-1 (Connectivity > Infrared), and then press Select.
You see the message IR reception activated, and the IR icon
appears on the Start screen.
3 Have the user of the sending device select the desired IR function to
start data transfer. If data transfer does not start within 2 minutes
after the activation of the IR port, the connection is cancelled. You
must start it again.
