• INFRARED
You can set up the phone to receive data through its IR port. To use an IR
connection, transmission and reception must be to or from an infrared
compatible phone or device. You can send or receive data such as business
cards and calendar notes to or from a compatible phone or data device
(such as a computer) through the IR port of your phone.
Important: Do not point the IR beam at anyone's eye or allow it
to interfere with other IR devices.
SEND AND RECEIVE DATA USING IR

Ensure that the IR ports of the
sending and receiving devices are
pointing at each other and that
there are no obstructions between
the devices. The preferable distance
between the two devices in an
infrared connection is from 3 inches
to 3 feet.
