data transfer between your LifeBook and other IrDA-
compatible devices, such as another computer or a
printer, without the use of a cable. (See figure 2-8 on
page 10 for location)
It is important to keep in mind that while carrying out
this form of communication, both devices must be
placed so their infrared ports are directly facing each
other without obstruction. The devices must also be
separated by at least 6" but no more than 36" for
maximum performance.
The following conditions may interfere with infrared
communications:
A television, radio remote control unit, or a wireless
headphone is being used nearby.
Direct sunlight, fluorescent light, or incandescent light
shines directly on the port.
C A U T I O N
Do not move either device while communication is
active as it may interrupt data transmission.
