INFRARED PORT

The Infrared IrDA 1.1 (4Mbps) port allows for wireless
data transfer between your LifeBook notebook and
other IrDA-compatible devices, such as another
computer or a printer, without the use of a cable. (See
Figure 2-5 on page 10 for location)

It is important to keep in mind that while carrying out
this form of communication, both devices must be
placed so their infrared ports are directly facing each
other without obstruction. The devices must also be
separated by at least 6" but no more than 36" for
maximum performance.

The following conditions may interfere with infrared
communications:

■

A television, radio remote control unit, or a wireless
headphone is being used nearby.

■

Direct sunlight, fluorescent light, or incandescent light
shines directly on the port.

WIRELESS INFRARED MOUSE PORT

The optional Wireless Infrared Mouse Port allows you to
use your wireless, Infrared (IR) Mouse. The IR Mouse
communicates directly with the IR Mouse port without
the use of a cable. (See Figure 2-4 on page 8 for location)

MICROPHONE JACK

The microphone jack allows you to connect an external
mono microphone. Your microphone must be equipped
with a 1/8"(3.5 mm) mono mini-plug in order to fit into
the microphone jack of your LifeBook notebook. In
order to connect a microphone follow these easy steps:
(See Figure 2-4 on page 8 for location)

1. Align the connector with the port opening.

2. Push the connector into the port until it is seated.

HEADPHONE JACK

The headphone jack allows you to connect headphones
or powered external speakers to your LifeBook note-
book. Your headphones or speakers must be equipped
with a 1/8" (3.5 mm) stereo mini-plug. In order to
connect headphones or speakers follow these easy steps:
(See Figure 2-4 on page 8 for location)

1. Align the connector with the port opening.

2. Push the connector into the port until it is seated.

DOCKING PORT

The docking port is used for the connection of your
notebook to an optional port replicator or docking
station. (Note that systems running Windows Me can
only use the Port Replicator, not the docking station.) In
order to connect your notebook to one of these devices
follow the instructions that came with your port repli-
cator or docking station. (See Figure 2-7 on page 12 for
location)

EXTERNAL MONITOR PORT

The external monitor port allows you to connect an
external monitor. In order to connect an external
monitor follow these easy steps: (See Figure 2-7 on page
12 for location)

1. Align the connector with the port opening.

2. Push the connector into the port until it is seated.

3. Tighten the two hold-down screws, located on

each end of the connector.

C A U T I O N

Do not move either device while communication is
active as it may interrupt data transmission.

C A U T I O N

Be careful not to scratch the infrared port lens.
Scratches, dirt, or other surface marks can
degrade operation.

P O I N T

With Windows 98 Second Edition, you can use the
Infrared Recipient application for infrared file transfers.
LapLink 2000 software can also be used for infrared file
transfers.

With Windows 2000 Professional and Windows Me, file
transfer is provided through Wireless Link in the Control
Panel.

If you plug headphones into the headphone jack, you
will disable the built-in stereo speakers.

Some LifeBook notebooks have a sliding panel that
encloses the ports. The sliding panel can be damaged if
it is left open while the notebook is moved.

P O I N T

Pressing the [Fn] + [F10] keys allows you to change
your selection of where to send your display video. Each
time you press the key combination, you will
step to the next choice, starting with the built-in display
panel only, moving to the external monitor only, finally
moving to both the built-in display panel and an
external monitor.
