■
Position the ports so they face each other directly. Because
the maximum capture angle is 30 degrees, the ports must be
aligned no more than 15 degrees off center.
■
Shield the ports from direct sunlight, flashing incandescent
light, and energy-saving fluorescent light.
■
Be sure no signals from remote control or other wireless
devices, such as headphones or audio devices, aim at a port.
■
During the transmission, do not move either device and do
not allow objects or movement to disrupt the beam.
