Could not connect to phone
If you have problems connecting your MC 218 to the phone, e.g. when you
use My Phone and want to copy data from your Phone Book, you could try
one or more of the following before you try to reconnect:
• Close the My Phone program and open it again.
• Make sure that Remote Link on the Tools menu in Desktop is set to Off.
• Switch off the phone and then switch it on.
• If you are using a detachable infrared modem (DI27/28) with your
Ericsson phone, switch off the phone, remove the modem, then attach it
again and switch on the phone.
• If you use an Ericsson phone with a built-in infrared modem, e.g 888,
make sure the IR port is activated.
I cannot receive pictures from my camera
If you have problems transferring a picture to the Postcard program in the
MC 218, you should make sure that:
• the camera you are using is IrTran-P compatible. Check that it has a logo
confirming this.
• an infrared transfer was initiated. If this was not the case, another program
on the MC 218 using the infrared system might be running. Close the other
program and try again.
• your camera is not too close or too far away from the MC 218. Position the
camera’s infrared eye 10–15 centimetres (4–6 inches) from the infrared
port of your MC 218.
