1. OVERVIEW

This manual provides instructions to install/uninstall the IrDA

driver for ACT-IR200L/IR220L/IR220L+

from Windows 98/2000/XP/Vista.

[Note for ACT-IR220L+]: The driver we refer here is ONLY the IrDA driver which is already embedded in

Windows O.S. In addition to playing as an IrDA dongle, ACT-IR220L+ can also play as a raw IR. If your

application software bundled with your equipment, uses ACT-IR220L+ as a “Raw IR”, instead of an “IrDA”

dongle, do NOT install IrDA driver from Windows per this manual. Just plug in this IR dongle, install no

driver, and ACT-IR220L+ will work well with your software.

Otherwise it will not work with your Windows application software for Raw IR and you need to uninstall the

IrDA driver from your PC then.
