INFRARED DATA TRANSFER
E-105
Infrared Data Transfer Precautions
• Make sure that the infrared ports of the sending unit and
the receiving unit are pointed straight at each other, and
that there is nothing blocking the path between them.
To avoid problems that occur due to sudden loss of battery
power during infrared image transfer, we recommend that
you use the separately available AC adaptor specified for
this camera when transferring images.
Avoid performing infrared data transfers in areas expose to
direct sunlight or other strong illumination.
Such conditions as natural outdoor light, low battery power,
too much distance between infrared ports, and misalign-
ment of infrared ports can cause failure of image transfers
or corrupted data.
Proper image data transfer is impossible whenever there is
anything blocking either of the infrared ports.
• Do not locate any other infrared emitting device (such as
remote control units) or fluorescent lighting in the vicinity of
the cameras while they are performing infrared image
transfers.
• Failure to be able to establish an IrDA connection can
mean that the device you are trying to communicate with
does not support the IrDA standard, or that the applications
being used are not compatible. When this happens, you
probably have to connect the camera to the computer with
a separately available cable for data transfer.
