Infrared (IR) connection problems
If you are unable to use IR to transfer information, try the following:
•
Transfer only one file or no more than 25 contact cards at a time.
•
Line up the IR ports so that they are unobstructed and within a close range
•
Make sure nothing is between the two IR ports.
•
Adjust the room lighting. Some types of light interfere with IR connections. Try moving to a
different location or turning off some lights.
