It is important to keep in mind that while carrying out
this form of communication, both devices must be
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.

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.

and standards, not all USB devices and/or drivers
are guaranteed to work.

Do not move either device while communication is
active as it may interrupt data transmission.
CAUTION
Be careful not to scratch the infrared port lens.
Scratches, dirt, or other surface marks can
degrade operation.
