You can set up the phone to receive data through its infrared (IR) port.
To use an IR connection, the device with which you want to establish a connection must be IrDA compliant. You can send or receive data, such as business cards and calendar notes, to or from a compatible phone or data device (for example, a computer) via the IR port of your phone.
Sending and receiving data via 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 one meter at most.
- To activate the IR port of your phone to receive data via IR, press Menu and select Settings, Connectivity and Infrared.
- The user of the sending phone selects the desired IR function to start the data transfer.
If the data transfer is not started within two minutes after activation of the IR port, the connection is cancelled and has to be started again.
