Infra Red port

I would like to inform you that your notebook comes with Consumer infrared port i.e. it is a Infrared lens and works only with the Remote Control. This Infrared Lens is not a Infrared port that can be used to transfere data between devices. Therefore you will not be able to use your mobile phone or any other Infrared device(which is used for data transfer) with the Infrared on the notebook.
