What  is BLUETOOTH wireless  technology?
BLUETOOTH wireless technology is  a short -range wireless technology that enables  wireless data  communication
between digital devices, such as a computer and digital camera. BLUETOOTH wireless technology operates within a
range of about  10 m (30  feet).
Connecting two devices as necessary is  common, but some  devices can be connected to multiple  devices at the same
time.
You do not need  to use a cable for connection, nor  is  it necessary for the devices to face one another, such is  the case
with infrared technology. For example, you can use such a device in a bag or pocket.
BLUETOOTH standard is  an international  standard supported  by thousands of companies all  over  the world, and
employed by various  companies worldwide.
Communication system  and  compatible BLUETOOTH  profiles of the unit
Profile is  standardization of the function  for each BLUETOOTH device specification. The  unit supports the following
BLUETOOTH version  and profiles:
Communication  system:
BLUETOOTH Specification Ver. 3.0
Compatible BLUETOOTH profiles:
A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution  Profile):  Transmitting  or receiving  audio  content of high-quality.
AVRCP  (Audio Video Remote  Control  Profile):  Controlling A/V equipment;  pausing, stopping, starting playback,  etc.
HSP (Headset Profile)(*):  Talking  on the phone/Operating  the phone.
HFP (Hands -free  Profile)(*):  Talking  on the phone/Operating  the phone by hands -free.
* When you use a  BLUETOOTH mobile  phone  supported by both  HFP (Hands- free Profile)  and HSP (Headset Profile), set  it to
HFP.
Maximum  communication range
Use the devices within a range of about  10 m (30  feet)  of line of sight.
Maximum communication  range may shorten under the following conditions.
There is  an obstacle  such as a person, metal,  or wall  between this unit and the BLUETOOTH device.
A Wi-Fi device is  in use near  this unit.
A microwave oven is  in use near  this unit.
A device that generates  electromagnetic radiation is  in use near  this unit.
Interference from other devices
Because BLUETOOTH devices and Wi-Fi (IEEE802.11b/g) use the same  frequency, microwave interference may occur
and resulting in communication  speed  deterioration, noise, or invalid connection if this unit is  used near  a Wi-Fi device.
In such a case, perform  the following.
