Connecting Infrared Equipment NOTE: Infrared-equipped computers are IrDA-compliant. Infrared performance may vary depending on peripherals, distance between infrared devices, and applications used. The infrared port is available only on specific models. For infrared-equipped models, the infrared port allows wireless communication between your computer and other infraredequipped devices. Operating system support for infrared communication is currently available with Microsoft Windows 95, but not for Windows NT. The infrared port produces an invisible beam of infrared light to communicate with another infrared-equipped device. Connecting External Devices 8-5
