Linking with the Infrared Port
When the computer is docked in the desktop expansion base
The infrared port on the computer is disabled.
The infrared port on the desktop expansion base is enabled.
To position the infrared port for an infrared link to an IrDA-
compliant device, do the following:
Ensure that no objects block the line-of-sight path between the
infrared ports.
Position the two devices so that the infrared ports face each
other at a distance no greater than 1.5 feet (about 0.5 meter).
Aim the ports directly at each other. The maximum capture
angle is 30 degrees. Do not point one port more than
15 degrees off the center line from the other port.
Shield the ports from direct sunlight, flashing incandescent
light, and energy-saving fluorescent light.
During a transmission
Do not allow remote control units, such as wireless
headphones or other audio devices, to point at the ports.
Do not disrupt the infrared beam.
Do not move the devices.
