• INFRARED BASICS
Your phone can send and receive certain types of data by way of the phone’s
infrared (IR) port. Transmission and reception must be to or from an Infrared
compatible phone or device.
The Nokia 6340 is a Class 1 Laser Product.
Important: The preferable distance between two devices in an
infrared connection is from 3 inches to 3 feet. There must be
no obstructions between the two devices and both IR ports
must be pointed at each other.
