Infrared Communication - Casio Cassiopeia E-125 Service Manual And Parts List

6-7. Infrared Communication

The infrared port of this unit can be used to exchange data with another CASSIOPEIA, or with another
device equipped with infrared communication capabilities. Remember that the two infrared ports must
be pointed directly at each other when performing communications. The distance between the two infrared
ports must be less than 20 cm.
See the Pocket PC User's Guide for full details on performing infrared communications.
For infrared data communications with another device, the other device must conform with IrDA 1.2
standards, and it must specifically support infrared data communication with a CASSIOPEIA.
Important
• Take care so either of the units does not move while infrared data communications are in progress.
• Infrared data communications may be impossible under strong sunlight or inverter type fluorescent
lighting.
• Infrared data communication problems can be caused by the distance between the two ports, the
angle between the two ports, outdoor sunlight, and low batteries.
• Dirt and dust on the infrared port surface can cause communications errors and other problems.
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the port clean of dirt and dust.
