Logitech CORDLESS DESKTOP MX 5000 LASER - Manual (Page 10)

Bluetooth radios operate at much lower power levels than phones so, not surprisingly, the
radiation added by a Bluetooth device is insignificant by comparison. A study by William G.
Scanlon of Queen's University in Belfast found that a typical Ericsson (ERICY) Bluetooth radio
module generates an SAR of just 0.001 watts per kilogram.
1.18 Can I access the BIOS settings of my system with my Bluetooth keyboard?
Yes. During boot, your Bluetooth keyboard acts as a standard USB keyboard. This means you can
use it to manage your BIOS setting or enter a boot password without the need for a second
keyboard as long as your BIOS does not require a PS/2 keyboard in order to boot. If that is the
case, you may have to upgrade your BIOS (refer to your computer documentation for instructions).
1.19 Can I use my Logitech product even if I have not installed the Bluetooth
stack (software) yet?
Yes. Logitech Bluetooth products are "Plug & Play". This means you can already use your keyboard
even if you have not installed the software. Obviously, you need to install the software to get all the
features of the product. It also means you don't need to have an existing keyboard and mouse to
install Logitech desktops for Bluetooth. This is particularly useful if you bought a new system.
1.20 What makes Bluetooth desktops from Logitech the most advanced
keyboard and mouse combos with this technology?
With diNovo Media Desktop Laser and Cordless Desktop MX 5000 Laser, Logitech is launching its
third generation Bluetooth keyboard and mouse combo, each generation bringing its own set of
innovation and industry firsts:
• In October 2003, Logitech launched the first Bluetooth desktops with plug and play support,
meaning no other keyboard and mouse were required to install it. In addition, these products
were the first to come with BIOS support, meaning users could access their BIOS or enter a
password during boot.
• In September 2004, Logitech introduced the first Bluetooth desktop supporting Bluetooth 1.2
specification, offering better battery life and improved connectivity.
• In 2005, Logitech is now launching the first Bluetooth desktop with SecureConnect
technology, making the out-of-the-box experience simpler and faster by skipping the pairing
process (all devices being pre-connected and encrypted at the factory). Logitech is also
introducing for the first time Bluetooth desktops featuring a rechargeable Laser mouse. In
addition, these desktops are the only ones to offer audio support, meaning the user can
connect a Bluetooth headset for voice over instant messaging or listen to audio wirelessly
with a Bluetooth headphone.
