External Device Connections

Shield the ports from direct sunlight, flashing incandescent light, and fluorescent light.

Be sure that signals from a remote control or other wireless device (such as a cell phone, headphones, or audio device) do not aim at either port.

During the transmission, do not move either device and do not allow objects or movement to disrupt the beam.

Avoiding Standby While Using Infrared

If the notebook is in Standby, an infrared transmission cannot be initiated.

If Standby initiates during an infrared transmission, the transmission stops. To resume from Standby, briefly press the power button. When the notebook resumes from Standby, the transmission might resume. If the transmission does not resume, restart the notebook.
