During transfers, do not leave the cover more than
three-quarters open or it will interrupt the infrared
transfer.

When transferring entire applications or files, or
entries marked as secret, both Organizers must be
unlocked (see p.187).

Avoid direct sunlight.

Keep the infrared port clean with a soft, dry cloth.
Dust on the port could cause a transfer to fail.

Although infrared transfer requires no special
hardware, it is easily affected by ambient
conditions and other factors such as external light,
weak batteries, large transfer distance, transfer
angle, etc. As a result, while infrared transfer is
very convenient, there is a strong likelihood of data
transfer failure, incomplete data transfer (missing
data) or other errors occurring. It is therefore
recommended that you check the received data
thoroughly after making an infrared transfer.
