Infrared communication capability can be turned on and off. By default, it is disabled
when your system is shipped. To enable infrared use, click the infrared icon in the
Windows Control Panel and select the Enable infrared communication checkbox on
the Options tab.
You can disable infrared communication when you are not using it to conserve battery
life.
Use the infrared icon in the Windows Control Panel to enable and disable infrared
communication. Do not use the icon in the taskbar.
Check the Status tag of the Infrared Monitor in the Windows Control Panel to
determine if the infrared device is detected.
If the two devices are too far apart or too close together, data transfer may be
interrupted or there may be noise in the transmission.
Do not cover the infrared ports with your hand or any other object.
Avoid direct sunlight, fluorescent light, or flashing incandescent light near the infrared
ports.
See the manual that came with your digital still camera or other infrared
communication device for more information on installation and use.
