Hardware Components Setting Up an Infrared Transmission For information about using infrared software, refer to your operating system Help file. To set up infrared devices for optimal transmission: ■ Prepare the infrared ports on both devices for transmission. ■ Position the devices so that their infrared ports face one another at a distance no greater than 1 meter (3.3 feet). ■ Position the ports so that they face one another directly. Because the maximum capture angle is 30 degrees, the ports must be aligned no more than 15 degrees off-center. ■ Shield the ports from direct sunlight, flashing incandescent light, and energy-saving fluorescent light. ■ Be sure that no signals from remote control or other wireless devices, such as headphones or audio devices, aim at a port. ■ During the transmission, do not move either device and do not allow objects or movement to disrupt the beam. 5-40 Hardware and Software Guide
