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 (about 30 ft).
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.
Maximum communication range
Maximum communication  range may shorten under the following conditions.
There is  an obstacle  such as a person, metal,  or wall  between the speaker and BLUETOOTH device.
A wireless LAN  device is  in use near  the speaker.
A microwave oven is  in use near  the speaker.
A device that generates  electromagnetic radiation is  in use near  the speaker.
Interference from other  devices
Because BLUETOOTH devices and wireless LAN  (IEEE802.11b/g) use the same  frequency, microwave interference
may occur  and resulting in communication  speed  deterioration, noise, or invalid connection if the speaker is  used near  a
wireless LAN  device. In such a case, perform  the following.
Use the speaker at least 10 m (about 30 ft) away from the wireless LAN  device.
If the speaker is  used within 10 m (about 30 ft) of a wireless LAN  device, turn  off the wireless LAN  device.
Interference to other  devices
Microwaves emitting  from a BLUETOOTH device may affect  the operation of electronic medical  devices. Turn off the
speaker and other BLUETOOTH devices in the following locations,  as it may cause an accident.
where  inflammable gas is  present, in a hospital,  train,  airplane, or a gas station
near  automatic doors  or a fire alarm
Note
To be able to use the BLUETOOTH function, the BLUETOOTH device to be connected requires the same  profile  as
the system’s.
Note also that even if the same  profile  exists, devices may vary in function  depending on their  specifications.

							Due to the characteristic of BLUETOOTH wireless technology, the sound  played  on the speaker is  slightly delayed
from the sound  played  on the BLUETOOTH device during talking on the telephone or listening to the music.
This speaker supports security  capabilities  that comply with the BLUETOOTH standard to provide a secure  connection
when the BLUETOOTH wireless technology is  used,  but security  may not be enough depending on the setting.  Be
careful  when communicating  using BLUETOOTH wireless technology.
We do not take any responsibility for the leakage  of information  during BLUETOOTH communication.
A device featuring the BLUETOOTH function  is  required to conform to the BLUETOOTH standard specified  by
Bluetooth  SIG,  and be authenticated. Even if the connected device conforms to the above  mentioned BLUETOOTH
standard, some  devices may not be connected or work correctly, depending on the features or specifications  of the
device.
Noise or sound  skips may occur  depending on the BLUETOOTH device connected with the speaker, the
communication  environment  or the usage  environment.
