External Device Connections

Shield the ports from direct sunlight, flashing incandescent 
light, and fluorescent light.

Be sure that signals from a remote control or other wireless 
device (such as a cell phone, headphones, or audio device) 
do not aim at either port.

During the transmission, do not move either device and 
do not allow objects or movement to disrupt the beam.

Avoiding Standby While Using Infrared

If the notebook is in Standby, an infrared transmission cannot 
be initiated.

If Standby initiates 

during

 an infrared transmission, the 

transmission stops. To resume from Standby, briefly press 
the power button. When the notebook resumes from Standby, 
the transmission might resume. If the transmission does not 
resume, restart the notebook.
