Troubleshooting
If you are unable to communicate between your desktop computer and portable
devices, your problem may be related to a variety of issues. Review the
following areas and make the necessary adjustments.
• Verify the indicator light on the Adapter flashes every 3 seconds. This
light indicates the software drivers are correctly installed. If the light is not
flashing:
— Windows 98 Only - Use Infrared Monitor to verify infrared is enabled.
To access Infrared Monitor, double-click the Infrared icon located in
the system tray.
— Disconnect and reconnect the Adapter from the desktop USB port.
— Restart the desktop computer the Adapter is connected to.
• Your portable device may be out of range or misaligned with the Adapter.
Try repositioning the infrared devices.
• Isolate which device is not communicating by using a third infrared device,
such as a printer or another portable computer, to test connections.
NOTE: Detailed installation instruction and updated troubleshooting tips are
included in the online documentation on the CD-ROM.
Windows 2000/Me/XP
Use the Wireless Link utility provided by Microsoft to transfer files and
folders between infrared-equipped computers. Refer to the online help provided
with the utility for specific features and helpful user tips.
