2. Connect the other end of the cable to the television composite cable.

Infrared Port
The infrared port is IrDA 1.1-compliant. An infrared data stream is transmitted through a lens in the computer, up to a distance of 1 meter (m), and received by a
compatible computer, printer, mouse, or remote control. The infrared port allows the transfer of files from one computer to another infrared-compatible device, without
using cable connections. Dell has installed data communications software for you to use with the infrared port. You can also use other commercially available infrared-
capable application programs. For information on configuring the standard infrared drivers that come with Microsoft® Windows® 98, see your operating system
documentation. To install the fast infrared drivers provided by Dell, see the instructions in the readme.doc file on your System Software CD. If for some reason you
need to change the infrared port address, be careful not to create a conflict with the addresses of the serial port or the parallel port.
To use the infrared port, point the infrared port directly at the infrared port of the compatible device. Infrared devices transmit data in a 30° cone of infrared light. Start
the data communications software on both devices, and then begin transferring files. Read the documentation that came with your compatible device to make sure you
operate it correctly.
