Bluetooth™ Networking Overview
“Bluetooth” is a worldwide standard for the exchange of
data between two devices via radio frequencies.
Bluetooth radios are relatively low powered to help pre-
vent interference with other devices running at similar
radio frequencies. This limits the range of a Bluetooth
device to about 10 meters (about 32 feet).
Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation
The radiated output power of this internal wireless
radio is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure
limits. Nevertheless, this Bluetooth radio must be used
in such a manner that the antenna is 2.5 cm or further
from the human body.
The radio and antenna are mounted internally in this
printer in such a way that, when the printer is used in
a standard configuration (belt clip, soft case, shoul-
der strap), the 2.5 cm distance from the users body
will be met. Do not use the printer in an unauthorized
manner.
The internal wireless radio operates within guidelines
found in radio frequency safety standards and rec-
ommendations. The level of energy emitted is far less
than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless
devices such as mobile phones.
In order to exchange data, two Bluetooth enabled
devices must establish a connection. Bluetooth software
is always running in the background, ready to respond to
connection requests. One device (known as the
master
or the client) must request a connection with another.
The second device (the slave or the server ) then accepts
or rejects the connection. A Bluetooth enabled Cameo
will always act as a slave device. The miniature network
created by this connection is sometimes referred to as a
“piconet” and in theory can consist of several Bluetooth
enabled devices.
Each Bluetooth Cameo has a unique Bluetooth Device
