Infrared Communications
Using the IR port located on the right side of your notebook, you can wirelessly
communicate with a Sharp electronic organizer, infrared-equipped computers and
printers. Refer to the manual or online help of each application for the detail.
Positioning and Preparing the Notebook and the Target Device
Before you establish wireless communication, both the notebook and the target
device should be properly positioned. Locate your notebook in a flat place and then
