50 Infrared
10 • Infrared
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.). You can 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.
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
IrDA ports are facing each
other and are a maximum of 50 cm away from each
other (see diagram). Also make sure that nothing
obstructs the IrDA beam.
To send data via IrDA from your mobile phone, you
must first select the item to be sent: when selecting a
picture, a sound, a name or an event, a sub-menu then
gives you access to the
Send option.
As soon as your phone finds another IrDA-compliant
device to communicate with, the sending
automatically takes place. Messages are displayed on
the screen, for you to follow the process.
If the phone finds several IrDA devices, a list is
displayed on the screen, for you to choose from. Press
,
to confirm and to send the selected data.
Sending is cancelled if your phone cannot find another
device before the time out is reached, if the infrared
link is broken, or if you cancel the process.
Activate IrDA
To receive data, select Infrared >
Receive . Your phone then waits for the
other IrDA device to send an item. As
when sending, messages are displayed on the screen
and allow you to follow up the process.
