You can set up your Nokia 7270 phone to receive data such as business cards and calendar notes through its infrared (IR) port.

Via the IR port of your phone, you can transfer data from a compatible phone or data device (for example, a laptop computer) to another. To use an IR connection, the device with which you want to establish a connection must be IrDA compliant.

When sending and receiving data via IR:

• Ensure that the IR ports of the sending and receiving devices are pointing at each other and that there are no obstructions between the devices.
• To activate the IR port of your phone to receive data via IR, press Menu and select Settings, Connectivity and Infrared.
• The user of the sending phone selects the desired IR function to start the data transfer.
• If the data transfer is not started within two minutes after activation of the IR port, the connection is canceled and has to be started again.
