Setting Up an Infrared Transmission

For information about using infrared software, refer to your
operating system documentation.
To set up infrared devices for optimal transmission:
I
Enable the infrared port on the external device as instructed
in the documentation included with the device. (In Windows
XP Professional and Windows 2000 Professional, the
infrared port on the computer is fully enabled whenever the
computer is on.)
I
Position the devices so their infrared ports face each other at a
distance no greater than 3.3 feet (1 meter).
I
Position the ports so they face each other directly. Because
the maximum capture angle is 30 degrees, the ports must be
aligned no more than 15 degrees off center.
I
Shield the ports from direct sunlight, flashing incandescent
light, and energy-saving fluorescent light.
I
Be sure no signals from remote control or other wireless
devices, such as headphones or audio devices, aim at a port.
I
During the transmission, do not move either device and do
not allow objects or movement to disrupt the beam.
