Your mobile phone integrates the infrared technology
(also called IrDA), that allows you to send or receive
data to and from other IrDA-compliant devices
through a wireless link (e.g. another mobile phone, a
PC or PDA, a printer etc.).
Files that are copyright protected cannot be sent.
When connecting with a PC, make sure you have
activated its infrared option.
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 (see diagram). Also make sure
that nothing obstructs the infrared beam.
To send data via IrDA from your mobile phone, you
must first select the item to be sent: when selecting a
picture, a sound, a name or an event, a sub-menu then
gives you access to the
Send
option.
As soon as your phone finds another IrDA-compliant
device to communicate with, the sending
automatically takes place. Messages are displayed on
the screen, for you to follow the process.
If the phone finds several IrDA devices, a list is
displayed on the screen, for you to choose from. Press
,
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.
Activate IrDA
To receive data, select

>

. Your phone is then ready to
receive an item and waits for the other
IrDA device to send it. As when sending, messages are
displayed on the screen and allow you to follow up the
process.
