I'm having a problem using the IR port. What can I do?

Frequently Asked Questions C-9 Use the taskbar icon to enable the IR port. Next, enter the BIOS Setup utility to verify that the IR serial port setting contains an available COM port and IRQ setting.

Check that both the sending and receiving system and device are using the same transmission software.

If you are transmitting underneath a fluorescent light, try repositioning the system and device so that they are not directly under the fluorescent light.

Reference the IR setup online help for further information.
