Infra red----what is it?

I activated an "infra red" mode on my Samsung yesterday in error.

Does anyone know what it is and how I can turn it off?

Cheers....

It is for sending and receiving files
It was used a lot before Bluetooth came about.

Try going into a connectivity menu to find it and turn it off, if not check the manual

Many thanks for your reply.

The menu it was switched on from doesn't seem to have a turn off function! I don't have a manual as it was bought second hand.

If I just leave it on, will it cause any problems or use power unnecessarily?

In most of my phones it's turned itself off automatically after a few minutes of inactivity.

Of course, it's entirely possible I'm wrong.

Turn you phone off and then turn it back on. It should turn off when your phone is turned off.
