Setting Up An Infrared Transmission; Using Standby With Infrared - HP Compaq Series Hardware And Software Manual

Setting Up an Infrared Transmission

For information about using infrared software, refer to your
operating system Help file.
To set up infrared devices for optimal transmission:
■
Prepare the infrared ports on both devices for transmission.
■
Position the devices so that their infrared ports face one
another at a distance no greater than 1 meter (3.3 feet).
■
Position the ports so that they face one another directly.
Because the maximum capture angle is 30 degrees, the ports
must be aligned no more than 15 degrees off center.
■
Shield the ports from direct sunlight, flashing incandescent
light, and energy-saving fluorescent light.
■
Be sure that no signals from remote control or other wireless
devices, such as headphones or audio devices, aim at a port.
■
During the transmission, do not move either device and do
not allow objects or movement to disrupt the beam.

Using Standby with Infrared

Standby is not compatible with infrared transmission. If the
notebook is in standby, an infrared transmission cannot be
initiated. If standby is initiated during an infrared transmission,
the transmission stops. To resume from standby, slide the power
switch toward the front of the notebook. The transmission
resumes when the notebook resumes from standby. However, any
program that was using the infrared transmission when standby
was initiated may not continue from the point at which it was
stopped. For example, if a program was printing when standby
was initiated, the program resumes transmission after the
notebook resumes, but the print job may not resume.
