Infrared Port: Latitude LM
Infrared Port
The computer has an infrared port that is IrDA
1.0 compatible. An infrared data stream is transmitted through a
lens in the computer, up to a distance of 1 meter, 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 to
be used with the infrared port. In the Microsoft� Windows� 95
operating system, check the Dell Mobile Solutions folder in Dell
Accessories; in the Microsoft Windows 3.x operating
system, open the CommCentral icon in the Dell Accessories group.
To map the address of the infrared port to avoid conflicts with
other devices see Infrared in the
Setup program.
You can also use other commercially available
infrared-compatible application programs.
30� Cone
To use the infrared port, point the
computers infrared port directly at the compatible
devices infrared port. 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.

NOTE: Make sure that there are no books, papers,
or other objects between the 2 infrared devices and that
the 2 devices are within the 30 cone. |
