• INFRARED
You can set up the phone to receive data through its infrared (IR) port. To use an
IR connection, the device with which you want to establish a connection must be
IrDA compliant. You can send or receive data such as business cards and calendar
notes to or from a compatible phone or data device (for example, a computer) using
the IR port of your phone.
Do not point the IR beam at anyone's eye or allow it to interfere with other IR
devices. This device is a Class 1 laser product.
Note: Your phone must be switched on to use this function. Do not switch
the phone on when wireless phone use is prohibited or when it may cause
interference or danger.
Sending and receiving data via IR
• Ensure that the IR ports of the sending and receiving devices are pointing at
each other and that there are no obstructions between the devices. The preferable
distance between the two devices in an IR connection is no more than
2ft,7in(about 80cm).
• To activate the IR port of your phone to receive data using IR, select Menu >
Connectivity > Infrared.
• The user of the sending phone selects the desired IR function to start data transfer.
If data transfer is not started within two minutes after the activation of the IR port,
the connection is cancelled and has to be started again.
IR connection indicator
• When is shown continuously, the IR connection is activated and your
phone is ready to send or receive data using its IR port.
• When blinks, your phone is trying to connect to the other device or a
connection has been lost.
Note that the IR connection deactivates automatically.
