Troubleshooting
The PowerPac power supplies are stackable, so care should be taken when
communicating with stacked power supplies using IrDA. A power supply is selected
as the recipient or provider of data by pointing the PDA directly toward the IR port
on the front of the targeted power supply. If two or more power supplies are able to
"see" the PDA simultaneously, errors or unintended transfers of data may occur.
Care should be taken to shield the IR ports of non-targeted power supplies to
prevent errors or unintended transfers.
In all cases, once the problem and the cause have been identified and corrected,
repeat the transmission.
