placed so their infrared ports are directly facing each
other without obstruction. The devices must also be
separated by at least 6" but no more than 36" for
maximum performance.
The following conditions may interfere with infrared
communications:
A television, radio remote control unit, or a wireless
headphone is being used nearby.
Direct sunlight, fluorescent light, or incandescent light
shines directly on the port.
C A U T I O N
Do not move either device while communication is
active as it may interrupt data transmission.
C A U T I O N
Be careful not to scratch the infrared port lens. Dirt,
scratches, or other surface marks can degrade
operation.
