■ Connectivity
You can connect your phone to compatible devices using an IR connection. You
can also define the settings for packet data dial-up connections.
Infrared
You can set up the phone to send and 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 to or from a compatible phone
or data device (for example, a computer) through the IR port of your phone.
Do not point the IR beam at anyone's eyes or allow it to interfere with other IR
devices. Infrared devices are Class 1 laser products.
