Using the CLIÉ handheld as a remote control
You can operate a remote-controlled device on the device’s control screen. For those operations you have assigned to the Jog Dial navigator or to the application buttons.
Notes
Be sure to point the infrared communications port of your CLIÉ handheld toward the device that you wish to remote-control.
The reach of the remote-control signal is approximately 5 meters, but it may vary depending on the receiving device or on the environment.
Some buttons on the CLIE Remote Commander application’s control screen would not work if the remote-controlled device is not equipped with that function. Note also that some functions may not work depending on its model.
