Connecting Infrared Equipment
The infrared lens on the back of your computer uses an invisible
beam of infrared light to communicate with other infrared-
equipped devices, such as printers or other computers.
The Microsoft Windows Infrared (IR) communications driver
enables your computer to send and receive data over these IR
communications links.
The infrared monitor can be accessed by selecting the Infrared
icon located on the Control Panel. The infrared monitor displays
the status of any IR communication links, settings, and properties
of the IR Port. For additional information, select the Help in the
Infrared Monitor.
To establish an infrared link:
■
Be sure that the infrared ports on both devices are turned on
and facing each other at a distance no greater than 3.28 feet
(one meter).
■
Avoid moving the infrared ports during data transmission.
■
Avoid interference from remote control units (e.g., wireless
headphones or audio devices) by pointing them away from the
infrared ports.
■
Avoid direct sunlight, fluorescent light, or flashing
incandescent light close to the infrared ports.
■
Keep the path between the infrared ports free of objects (to
avoid interference with data transmission).
■
Do not point one port more than 30 degrees away from
another port.
The computer’s infrared lens can be used when the computer is
attached to the Compaq Mobile CD Expansion Unit (MCD), but
not when the computer is docked in the convenience base.
