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.
