Infrared Data Communications
Your computer is equipped with an infrared communications port enabling you to transfer
data without a cable.
Set the address of your infrared communications port to enable. ( below)
Position your computer so that the port is face-to-face with the port of another computer.
Be sure the computers are not in direct contact with one another.
A port-to-port distance of 20 to 50 cm (8 to 20 inches) is recommended.
Problems with infrared data communications
An object is located between both ports.
There are other electronic devices nearby causing interference, such as a televi-
sion, VCR, wireless headphone, etc.
Direct sunlight or white glowing light, such as fluorescent lighting; can cause in-
terference with communications between the ports.
