Infrared Port 57
Infrared Port
Your phone is equipped with a port using infrared (IR) as a
communications link. With IR you can connect your phone to another
similar phone, a PDA or a PC. You can send and receive, for example,
calendar appointments and tasks, business cards, melodies and game
commands.
Before you start communicating with another IR device, you need
to ensure that:
• the IR port is on.
• the IR devices are placed so that the IR ports are facing each other.
• the software for infrared communication is installed.
You can find the software installation on the Ericsson CD that
comes with your mobile phone.
Note:
To be able to use the e-mail and browsing services, you have
to have programs for the respective services installed on your PC.
The IR port has three settings:
• On. The phone keeps searching for other IR devices until the port
is turned off. When the IR port is set to on, an icon appears in
the display.
• Off. The port is not active.
• 10 minutes. The port is automatically turned off 10 minutes after
the last data transmission, in order to preserve battery life.
To set the IR port
1. Scroll to Extras, Y ES , Infrared port, Y ES .
2. Select On, Off or 10 minutes and press Y ES .
