AEII KeyBox. To communicate with the AEII KeyBox,
your PDA must have the Palm operating system and
needs to be inside an eKEY shell. The eKEY shell fits
into the recessed area on the front of the AEII KeyBox,
with the contacts on the shell matching the contacts on
the KeyBox.
iBox. Your PDA communicates with the iBox using infrared
technology. The infrared port on your PDA transmits
information to the infrared lens on the front of the iBox.
The distance should be less than a foot between your
PDA and the iBox. Direct sunlight can interfere with the
infrared communication, so you may need to shade the
area between the PDA and iBox when you are accessing
the key container.
