To make an infrared connection
The infrared port provides a type of serial connection that doesn’t require cables— you just have to line up the device’s infrared port with the right rear of your OmniBook.
Keep the distance within about 3 feet (1 meter) for optimum performance. For example, you can establish a connection to an infrared printer by simply aiming the back of the OmniBook at the printer.
