Infrared communications scheme for an infrared transmitting device having a light emitting diode (LED) ramps up the power of a carrier frequency signal applied to the LED in a given time interval to a given value. The carrier frequency signal is then frequency modulated with a data message for transmission by the LED. The power of a DC signal applied to the LED may then be ramped up in a given time interval to a given value before the carrier frequency signal is modulated with a data message. After transmission of the data message, the power of the carrier frequency signal applied to the LED is ramped down in a given time interval to a given value. The power of the DC signal applied to the LED is then ramped down in a given time interval to a given value.
