Using your notebook
Wireless data transfer with infrared interface
The infrared interface (IrDA) of your notebook permits wireless serial data transfer at up to 4 Mbits/s.
For data transfer, you must align the infrared interface of your notebook with that of the partner
device (e.g. a Pocket PC). The devices must not be more than one metre apart. The infrared
interface of one device must be in the range of influence (horizontally approx. 30° and vertically
approx. 15°) of the infrared interface of the other device.
The operating system automatically searches for infrared signals.
If the infrared partner device was not found, realign the two devices differently with each other.
Port Replicator
The Port Replicator (available as an accessory) is a docking device with which you can quickly
connect your notebook to your peripheral devices. The Port Replicator has standard ports for
monitor, LAN and USB for this purpose.

Setting up the Port Replicator
Select a suitable location for the Port Replicator before setting it up. Consider the following
points when looking for a location:
!
● Never place the Port Replicator on a soft surface (e.g. carpeting, upholstered
furniture, bed). This can block the air vents of the notebook and cause overheating
and damage.
● Place the Port Replicator on a stable, flat and nonslippery surface. Please note that
the rubber feet may mark certain types of surfaces.
● Never place the Port Replicator and the mains adapter on a heat-sensitive surface.
● Do not expose the Port Replicator to extreme environmental conditions.
Protect the Port Replicator from dust, humidity and heat.
