IR
SkillStarter™ Handheld has an Infrared (IR) Lens that enables wireless
communication between XL Series learning units. Through the IR Lens, an XL
Series unit can play an IR game with another XL Series learning unit. Moreover,
they can exchange information, such as Personal Profile records, Phone Book
records, Artwork Studio pictures, Music Composer melodies, Creation Station
characters, etc. In SkillStarter™ Handheld, all games that support the IR
function can be found in the IR Zone.
To play a game with another XL Series learning unit, select a game that supports
IR playing. Then select the IR 2-player mode on-screen by clicking the icon or
you can press the IR button.
Another IR function is to send a file to another XL Series unit. Open the activities
that support IR beaming. Then select the IR function in the tool bar or press the IR
button. After that a screen for you to select sending or receiving file will be shown.
When doing IR communication between two learning units, make sure the IR
Lenses of the units are facing correctly to each other and within the working
distance.
