The OmniBook has an infrared port—located on the rear panel—which provides wireless, serial communication between the OmniBook and other infrared devices such as printers or other OmniBooks. By default, the infrared port is not enabled. You must install the appropriate infrared driver and enable the port in the BIOS Setup utility. Refer to the Reference Guide and the driver’s Readme file for complete information about infrared connections. • Line up the OmniBook’s infrared port and the other infrared port in as straight a line as possible. The two ports should be no more than 1 meter apart, with no obstructions in between.
