13. Connectivity
Your phone allows you to connect to a variety of
external devices via Infrared, Bluetooth, USB, or
Network. This menu provides you with more features
to set up the connection with these external devices.
Infrared
Your mobile phone has an infrared port that allows
you to send or receive data to or from other infrared-
compliant devices (e.g. another mobile phone, a
computer, a PDA, etc.) through a wireless link.
Files that are copyright protected cannot be sent.
When connecting with a PC, make sure you have
activated its infrared option.
Position of devices
Before transmitting data between two devices, they
must be correctly positioned in relation to one another.
Make sure that:
• the infrared ports are facing each other,
• they are not more than 50 cm away from each other.
• nothing obstructs the infrared beam.
Sending data
To send data via infrared 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
PC Connection
via infrared option.
As soon as your phone finds another infrared
compliant device to communicate with, the sending
automatically takes place. Messages are displayed on
the screen for you to follow the process.
Files larger than 300 KB cannot be sent via Infrared.
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.
Receiving data
When you select
Receive
, your phone is ready to
receive an item via infrared and waits for the other
infrared device to send it. As with sending data,
messages are displayed on the screen for you to follow
the process.
Receiving is cancelled if your phone isn’t contacted by
another device before the time-out is reached, if the
infrared link is broken, if the size of the file is too large
or if you cancel the process.
