The BIOS Setup main menu appears.

2.Select the Peripheral Setup Menu.

3.Set the IR Serial Port to “Auto.”

Using the IR Port

Follow these guidelines when using the IR port to communicate with another infrared device.

!Position the NEC Versa VX no more than three feet away from the IR peripheral device you are using.

!Make sure that there is no greater than a 30º angle between the computer and the device.

Note To use the IR port to communicate with an external device when a PC card is installed, use the Windows 95/98/NT device manager to disable either the USB port or the 56K internal modem (available on some models). Ensure that the IR port has been enabled through the Setup utility.

To take advantage of the FIR transfer rate, disable the 56K internal modem.
