Unable to use infrared transfer between Windows CE-
based devices
If you are unable to use infrared to transfer information between
Windows CE-based devices, try the following.
· Transfer only one file, or no more than 25 contact cards, at a
time.
· Position the infrared ports so that they line up and are less
than 20 centimeters (8 inches) but more than 2 inches apart.
· Make sure nothing is between the two infrared ports.
· Adjust the room lighting. Some types of light interfere with
infrared communication. Try moving to a different location or
turning off some lights.
