Communication Precautions

•The two IR ports must be within 10cm (4 inches) and 30 degrees of each other.

•Proper data communication may also be impossible if the two IR ports are too close to each other.

•At an angle of 15 degrees or more, you may need to move the two IR ports very close to each other.

•Do not move the watch while communication is in progress.

•Make sure there is nothing between the two IR ports that blocks the path of the IR signal.

•Infrared communication may not be possible in areas where lighting is bright, near a window, etc.

•In the case of inverter fluorescent lighting or other very strong light, try turning off the light or move to an area where light is not shining directly onto the infrared ports.

•An unrelated nearby IR data communication operation can interfere with proper IR data communication.

•The maximum allowable distance between the IR ports may be less than 10cm when watch battery power is low.

•The watch automatically returns to the COM. MENU screen about five minutes after the image selection screen or receive standby screen is displayed. If the point where five minutes elapse occurs while a data send/ receive operation is in progress, the operation continues until it is complete, after which the watch automatically returns to the COM. MENU screen.
