Positioning the Infrared Ports
To position the infrared ports for optimal transmissions:
■
Ensure that no objects block the line-of-sight path between the
infrared ports.
■
Position the two devices so that the infrared ports face each
other at a distance no greater than 1.5 feet (about 0.5 meter).
■
Aim the ports directly at each other. The maximum capture
angle is 30 degrees. Do not point one port more than
15 degrees off the center line from the other port.
■
Shield the ports from direct sunlight and flashing incandescent
light. Some energy-saving fluorescent lights may also affect
transmissions.
■
During a transmission:
❏
Do not allow remote control units, such as wireless
headphones or other audio devices, to point at the ports.
❏
Do not disrupt the infrared beam with objects or
movements.
❏
Do not move the devices.
NOTE:
Because infrared equipment varies among manufacturers, it
may be necessary to place the two devices closer together and in
more direct alignment than recommended above.
