Motorola HK1223 manual Connecting an IR Device

Connecting an IR Device

Your computer has an IR (infrared) port for connecting an infrared-equipped device wirelessly such as another computer, printer, or PDA (Personal Digital Assistant).

Follow this procedure to connect an IR device:

1.Under Windows, make sure that the IrDA Fast Infrared Port is set to HP HSDL-2300/3600.

2.Make sure that the “COM Ports” and its “COM2 (FIR) Settings” items are set properly in the SCU program. (See “Advanced Menu” in Chapter 5 for information.)

3.When using the IR port:

Place the transmitting device where its IR port faces the IR port of your computer within the effective range − within ±20-degrees vertical angle and within ±20-degrees horizontal angle at no greater than 0.8~1.0 meter distance.

Place the receiving device where the IR port of your computer faces its IR port within the effective range − within ±15-degrees vertical angle and within ±15-degrees horizontal angle at no greater than 0.8~1.0 meter distance.

4.To take advantage of IR communications, you need a third party software.

NOTES: During infrared communication, take note of the following:

Do not move the computer and IR device.

Do not enter Standby mode.

Do not use a cell phone or another IR device near the computer.
