IR Wireless Communication
The Notebook PC is equipped with a conveniently located Infrared (IR) Communication Port (see 2.
Knowing the Parts for location). The IR port comes with IrDA (Infrared Data Association) Serial
Infrared Data Link Version 1.1 compliance, that allows you to perform point-to-point wireless commu-
nications. You can use a IR-specified application to transmit or receive data files with other systems
equipped with an infrared port.
Guidelines for using IR communication
Follow the guidelines listed below when using the Infrared (IR) Communication:
• The angle between two Infrared communication ports should not exceed ±15˚.
• The distance between the Notebook PC’s IR and target device IR should not exceed 12 inches (30 cm).
• Do not move either the Notebook PC or the other device during transmission of data.
• An error may occur if IR transmission is conducted with high levels of noise or vibration.
• Avoid direct sunlight, flashing incandescent light, florescent light, and other infrared devices such as
remote controls close to the infrared port.
Enabling Infrared
Windows infrared connection is called “Wireless Link” and should be enabled by default. Look for the
icon in the Control Panel.
Windows XP
Windows ME
CAUTION! Disable the infrared communication when you are not using the IR for long
periods because the IR consumes a great deal of Windows resources which will de-
crease the Notebook PC’s performance.
