When conducting an Infrared (IR) data transfer:
• Make sure the IR field in the BIOS Setup Program is configured with the correct
address.
• Ensure that the notebook’s IR module is properly lined up with the other device’s IR
module. The IR baud rate can reach 115,200 at a distance of one meter and bias
angle of 15°. The transmission distance can be further lengt hened by reducing the
baud rate or by perfectly aligning the two devices.
• There should be a clear, unobstructed path between the two SIR modules; otherwise
the optical signal will be distorted.
• Do not move either the notebook or the other device during data transmission.
Moving either device during transmission distorts the optical signal resulting in loss
of data or a system crash.
______________________________ Note ______________________________
An error can occur in IR transmission if subjected to an environment with high levels of
noise. To avoid transmission error do not transmit IR signals near equipment with
compressors, such as refrigerators or air conditioners.
