Far-infrared observations of the QSO 0241+62 taken around 1983 September are reported. They include detailed IRAS observations and maps of the region. The exact spectral turnover point in the optical-IR region is determined. Simple model-fitting using the established synchrotron self-Compton mechanism convincingly links the X-ray and the IR emission. The infrared colours, however, differ from published IRAS results for other quasars.
