If you have trouble sending or receiving files by infrared, try the
following tips to improve communication:
◗
Position each H/PC so that the infrared ports line up with
one another. Make sure the infrared ports are within three
feet (one meter) of each other.
◗
Make sure neither infrared port is blocked. The infrared port
may be blocked if you swing the display fully open.
◗
Some types of fluorescent lamps may interfere with infrared
communication. To minimize interference, try turning off
some lights or moving to a location with different lighting.
