Fast infrared
The computer’s fast infrared (FIR) port allows you to do wireless data transfer with other IR-aware computers
and peripherals such as infrared printers. The infrared port can transfer data at speeds of up to four megabits
per second (Mbps) at a distance of up to one meter.
To use FIR, position two IR-aware devi ces such t hat thei r IR por ts are no more th an one meter apart and offset
no more than 15 degrees.
When the two computers are in position, simply begin the data transfer as you normally would. See your file
transfer software for details.
