3.6.1 Using the Fast Infrared (FIR) Port

The FIR port, located on the rear of the computer, offers wireless communication with
other Texas Instruments notebook computers or a variety of IRDA™-compliant devices.
Without a physical connection, you can print remotely, transfer files between
computers, use a remote mouse during a presentation or receive information from a
PDA or pocket organizer. To transfer a file follow these steps:
Align the FIR ports of the two devices making sure that the distance separating them
is between six inches and three feet (one meter).
After the devices are aligned, use the TranXit™ software, located in the TranXit group,
to complete the communication process. (For further information, refer to the online
TranXit Quick Reference Guide.)
