Infrared Port The Infrared IrDA (4Mbps) port allows for wireless data transfer between your notebook and other IrDAcompatible devices, such as another computer or a printer, without the use of a cable. The infrared port is located on the front of the system, adjacent to the wireless device switch It is important to keep in mind that while carrying out this form of communication, both devices must be placed so their infrared ports are directly facing each other without obstruction. The devices must also be separated by at least 6" but no more than 36" for maximum performance. The following conditions may interfere with infrared communications: • A television, radio remote control unit, or a wireless headphone is being used nearby. • Direct sunlight, fluorescent light, or incandescent light shines directly on the port. • DO NOT MOVE EITHER DEVICE WHILE COMMUNICATION IS ACTIVE AS IT MAY INTERRUPT DATA TRANSMISSION. • BE CAREFUL NOT TO SCRATCH THE INFRARED PORT LENS. DIRT, SCRATCHES, OR OTHER SURFACE MARKS CAN DEGRADE OPERATION. IEEE 1394 Port The 4-pin 1394 port allows you to connect digital devices that are compliant with IEEE 1394 standard. The IEEE 1394 standard is easy to use, connect, and disconnect. This port can allow up to 400 Mbps transfer rate. A third-party application may be required to operate your device with the 1394 port. THE 1394 PORT USED IN THIS SYSTEM USES A FOUR-PIN CONFIGURATION. IF YOU INTEND TO INTERFACE WITH DEVICES WHICH USE A SIX-PIN CONFIGURATION, YOU WILL NEED TO PURCHASE AN ADAPTER. 92 - Device Ports
