Communications
Infrared signals are sent through an invisible beam of infrared light and must have an unobstructed line of sight. Infrared performance may vary with the performance of infrared peripherals, the distance and angle between infrared devices, and the applications being used.
Linking to an infrared device
Setting Up an Infrared Transmission
For information about using infrared software and enabling or disabling infrared ports, refer to the operating system Help files and to the documentation included with the external infrared device.
To set up 2 infrared devices, such as the notebook and an optional printer, for optimal transmission:
■Position the devices so that their infrared ports face each other at a distance of no more than 3.3 feet (1 meter).
■Position the ports so that they face each other directly. The maximum capture angle is 30 degrees, so the ports must be aligned no more than 15 degrees off center vertically or horizontally.
