NOTE: Much application software bundled with your device uses this dongle as a RAW IR,
which means no IrDA® driver needed. In such a case, do Not install IrDA driver from
Windows. Otherwise, you will get trouble in your operations. Hence we skip the IrDA driver
installation procedure in this manual. If needed, please go to
http://www.actisys.com/Downloads.html#IR2x0L_IrDA to download its procedure.
