> If you have an IrDA aware printer, you can point your phone at it and
|
|
you should see a light near the IR port light up or flash. If you have
|
|
a Palm organizer w/ IR, point it at the phone. If the IR on the phone
|
|
is in discovery mode, you should see the "Waiting for Sender" dialog
|
|
box pop up on the Palm.
|

</P

><P
|
|
> There is a program for the Palm called "IRMonitor" which measures IR
|
|
emissions. You can get this off EuroCool or PilotZone. You run the
|
|
program, point your Palm at where you think the IR beam should be
|
|
coming from and if there are any emissions from that port, they will
|
|
show up as a spike on the IrMonitor scrolling graph. I would highly
|
|
recommend this program to anybody out there who plays with or works
|
|
with IR devices.
