Infrared Problems
If you are unable to transfer files with the infrared port, check the following:
∙The receiving device must be positioned properly. There must be no more than three feet of distance between the computer’s infrared port and the receiving infrared device.
∙The sending and receiving devices need to be on the same level vertically. Place them on the same table if possible.
∙Make sure the infrared ports on the sending and receiving devices face each other, with no more than a 30% angle between the two infrared ports.
∙Make sure that nothing is obstructing the file transfer path between the computer’s infrared port and the receiving infrared device.
∙Check to see if the COM2 Mode field in System Setup is set to FIR. The field must be enabled before you can use the infrared port.
If you still cannot transfer a file, see the documentation for the infrared software.
