As a default, the infrared port is turned off. When the infrared port is turned on, it
continually emits infrared signals to try and find a receiver. We suggest that you only
turn on the infrared port when you want to use it.
During infrared communications:
• Do not move the computer or the target device
• Do not enter standby/suspend-to-RAM mode
• Do not use a cellular phone or other IR device near the computer
• Avoid strong light such as sunlight or fluorescent light
• Disable the screen saver
1. Before you begin, disable any power management that is operating so that your
computer does not enter standby/suspend-to-RAM mode in the middle of an
infrared session.
