It is important to keep in mind that while carrying out
this form of communication, both devices must be
placed so their infrared ports are directly facing each
other without obstruction. The devices must also be
separated by at least 6" but no more than 36" for
maximum performance.

The following conditions may interfere with infrared
communications:

■

A television, radio remote control unit, or a wireless
headphone is being used nearby.

■

Direct sunlight, fluorescent light, or incandescent light
shines directly on the port.

port requires a PS/2 splitter.

P O I N T

Although there is a USB port on the system that will
accommodate a floppy disk drive, and a standard floppy
disk drive connector on the optional Port Replicator,
only one drive should be connected at any time.

C A U T I O N

■

Do not move either device while communication is
active as it may interrupt data transmission.

■

Be careful not to scratch the infrared port lens.
Scratches, dirt, or other surface marks can
degrade operation.

With Windows 98 Second Edition, you can use the
Infrared Recipient application for infrared file transfers.
