Preparations for Infrared Data Communications
Infrared Data Communications
Your computer is equipped with an infrared communications port enabling you to trans-
fer data without a cable.
Set the address of your infrared communications port to enable. ( below)
Position your computer so that the port is face-to-face with the port of another computer.
Be sure the computers are not in direct contact with one another.
A port-to-port distance of 20 cm to 50 cm {8" to 20"} is recommended.
Problems with infrared data communications
An object is located between both ports.
There are other electronic devices nearby causing interference, such as a televi-
sion, VCR, wireless headphone, etc.
Direct sunlight or white glowing light, such as fluorescent lighting; can cause inter-
ference with communications between the ports.
When moving your computer while it is transmitting/receiving data.
