Connecting Infrared Equipment

The infrared port allows communication between the notebook and another infrared-equipped device by producing an invisible beam of infrared light between the devices. Infrared performance varies depending on equipment, distance between infrared devices, and applications being used. The infrared port is IrDA-compliant and supports both low-speed connections up to 115 kilobits per second (Kbps) and high-speed connections up to 4 megabits per second (Mbps).

Infrared Connection Guidelines

■Be sure the infrared ports on both devices are turned on and facing each other at a distance no greater than 1.5 feet (about 0.5 meter).

■Avoid moving the infrared ports away from each other during data transmission.
