Your mobile phone integrates the infrared technology
(also called IrDA), that allows you to send or receive
data to and from other IrDA-compliant devices
through a wireless link (e.g., another mobile phone, a
PC or PDA, a printer etc.). Instead of sending a mes-
sage, you can decide to use IrDA to quickly send a
sound you just mixed to a friend's mobile phone, or to
receive pictures from their PDA.
Files that are copyright-protected cannot be sent. When
connecting with a PC, make sure you have activated its
infrared option.
Position of devices
Before sending or receiving data to and from another
device, they must be correctly positioned in relation to
your mobile phone. Make sure that the respective
IrDA ports are facing each other and are a maximum
68
of 50 cm away from each other (see diagram). Also
make sure that nothing obstructs the IrDA beam.
