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.
