If you have trouble sending or receiving files by infrared, try the
following tips to improve communication:
Position each H/PC so that the infrared ports line up with
one another. Make sure the infrared ports are within three
feet (one meter) of each other.
Make sure neither infrared port is blocked. The infrared port
may be blocked if you swing the display fully open.
Some types of fluorescent lamps may interfere with infrared
communication. To minimize interference, try turning off
some lights or moving to a location with different lighting.
