What you need to know about using Bluetooth™™ wireless technology

Bluetooth™ wireless technology exchanges data using radio waves.
The following points are critical in order for Bluetooth devices to be configured and used correctly.

The devices must be Bluetooth™ wireless technology-compatible

The devices must be close enough to be able to communicate

The devices must be in a connectable state

No other radio wave-emitting devices should be operated nearby

The Bluetooth devices must be switched ON

The devices must be Bluetooth™ wireless technology-compatible

The hardware and software used in your PC and other devices must be Bluetooth™ wireless technology compatible.
Bluetooth™ wireless technology compatible products normally bear the following logo:

For further details, please refer to your local retailer or consult the product instruction manual.

Note

A Bluetooth™ wireless technology communication card, adapter, or other similar device (sold separately) needs to be installed in PCs or
PDAs (personal digital assistants) that do not have onboard Bluetooth™ wireless technology.

The Bluetooth™ wireless technology devices must be able to communicate with each other

Devices situated in locations beyond the reach of the radio waves will not recognize each other, which will make communication impossible.
In particular, please ensure that your devices are located close enough so that they can communicate with each other before you initially register
and configure them.

Note

PCs have a communication distance restriction of ten meters. Please refer to the instruction manuals for information on the communication
distance restrictions specific to each device.

Communication interference may occur if any obstructions are located between the devices. Devices may not communicate properly if they
have been located, for example, on the ground and first floors of a residence, despite their being within the acceptable distance.

The devices must be in a connectable state

The devices must recognize each other in order to be connectable for use.
In certain devices, simply turning on the power will not produce a connectable state. Moreover, the energy-saving feature may come into effect
after a certain amount of time, which will prevent the devices from being detected. Please refer to the specific product instruction manual for further
details.

No other radio wave-emitting devices should be operated nearby

Microwave ovens, wireless LANs, and other radio wave-emitting devices located nearby may affect Bluetooth™ wireless technology
communication.
