 Infrared Communication

 Summary

Infrared communication is a wireless communication technology for transferring data

using light in the infrared region.

• Infrared communication is appropriate for connecting devices over short distances (20 cm).

• With this device, communication at speed up to 115Kbps is possible.

 Securing Good Communications

In order to secure good communications, observe the following points.

• Face the devices so that their infrared communications ports face each other directly. The

appropriate distance is no greater than 20 cm.

• Do not place anything between the devices. This would interfere with the infrared rays.

• Do not move either of the devices while they are communicating.

• Do not use a television or other remote control, wireless headphones, or the like near the

communicating devices.

• Do not allow direct sunlight, fluorescent lights, incandescent lights, or other strong light to fall

on the infrared communications ports.

• Do not allow the infrared ports to become dirty.
