To use Infrared Communication with another Computer
Align the infrared ports on the two computers so that they are in a direct line.
Check the Status tag of the Infrared
Monitor in the Windows Control
Panel to determine if the infrared
device has been detected.
If the two devices are too far apart
or too close together, data transfer
may be interrupted or there may be
noise in the transmission.
Do not cover the infrared ports with
your hand or any other objects.
Avoid direct sunlight, fluorescent
light, or flashing incandescent light
near the infrared ports.
See the manual that came with your
digital still camera or other infrared
communication device for more
information on installation and use.
