What's
Infrared?
Infrared is a convenient, inexpensive technology
that lets you effortlessly connect your phone to
other Infrared- enabled devices, such as
computers or phones, and share date easily.
Infrared lets you enjoy all the benefits offered
by Bluetooth - at an even faster date rate! A
host of Nokia phones support Infrared
functionality.

Infrared enabled or not).
To Use Infrared
Infrared Technology requires you to place the
Infrared port* of your phone in line with the
