To set up the infrared connection:
1. Connect the infrared modem to your phone and switch on the phone.
Note! The infrared modem supplied with your MC 218 is designed for
Ericsson phones without a built-in infrared modem. Alternatively, some
Ericsson GSM phones, have a built-in infrared modem and its IR port is
activated in the phone’s main menu.
2. Enable the infrared port on your phone, if applicable. You should do this
just a short time before attempting to connect. Your phone’s user guide
will tell you how to do this.
3. Position the two infrared ports of the MC 218 and your phone towards
each other, no more than one metre apart.
