INFRARED PORT
Infrared IrDA-compatible communication is a
function that allows for wireless data transfer
between your notebook and other IrDA-com-
patible devices. Examples of IrDA-compatible
devices are another computer or a printer. When
carrying out this kind of communication, both
devices must be set so their infrared ports are
directly facing each other without obstructions.
A distance of 6" to 36" between the device ports
is ideal. Dirt or scratches on the lens of your
notebook or the other device will degrade
performance. This is especially true for Fast IrDA
applications such as a transfer to an Ethernet.
If you are using Windows 98 SE, you can use the
Infrared Recipient program for infrared file trans-
fers. LapLink Professional software can also be
used for infrared file transfers in Windows 95
and Windows 98 SE. See your online help menus
for more information.
P O I N T
Windows NT 4.0 does not support the
infrared port on your LifeBook E Series.
C A U T I O N
Be careful not to scratch the infrared
port lens. Scratches, dirt or other surface
marks can effect operation.
■
When a strong light such as direct sunlight,
fluorescent light, or incandescent light shines
on the port.
The following conditions may interfere with
infrared communications:
■
When the infrared communication ports
are not directly facing each other, or some
obstacle is between them.
■
When the infrared communication ports
are too far apart.
■
When a television or radio remote control
unit, or a wireless headphone is being
used nearby.
C A U T I O N
Do not move either device during
communication as it may interrupt
data transmission.
POWER MANAGEMENT
Your LifeBook E Series has many features for
conserving battery power. Some power savings
features are automatic and have no user con-
trol, such as those for the internal modem,
while others depend on the parameters you
set to best suit your operating conditions.
Other power saving features turn the display
brightness down, limit the use of high power
devices, activate an appropriate power savings
profile, and put your notebook in Suspend
mode when not actually performing an
operation. As with all mobile, battery-powered
computers, there is a trade-off between
performance and power savings.
