■ Shield the ports from direct sunlight, flashing incandescent
light, and energy-saving fluorescent light.
■ Be sure that no signals from remote control or other wireless
devices, such as headphones or audio devices, aim at a port.
■ During the transmission, do not move either device and do
not allow objects or movement to disrupt the beam.
Using Standby with Infrared
Standby is not compatible with infrared transmission. If the
notebook is in Standby, an infrared transmission cannot be
initiated. If Standby is initiated during an infrared transmission,
the transmission stops. To resume from Standby, press the
power/standby button. The transmission resumes when the
notebook resumes from Standby. However, any program that was
using the infrared transmission when Standby was initiated may
not continue at the point it was stopped. For example, if a
program was printing when Standby was initiated, the program
resumes transmission after the notebook resumes, but the print
job may not resume.
Using Wireless LAN
The notebook provides internal wireless LAN supported through
the mini PCI board. For more information on using your internal
wireless LAN, refer on this CD to the Software Guide, “Wireless
LAN Software” chapter or to the wireless mini PCI card
documentation that ships with the notebook.
