On BLUETOOTH Communication
• BLUETOOTH devices should be used
within approximately 10 meters (33 feet)
(unobstructed distance) of each other.
The effective communication range may
become shorter under the following
conditions.
— When a person, metal object, wall
or other obstruction is between the
devices with a BLUETOOTH connection
— Locations where a wireless LAN is
installed
— Around microwave ovens that are in
use
— Locations where other electromagnetic
waves are generated
• BLUETOOTH devices and wireless LAN
(IEEE 802.11b/g) equipment use the
same frequency band (2.4 GHz). When
using your BLUETOOTH device near
a device with wireless LAN capability,
electromagnetic interference may occur.
This could result in lower data transfer
rates, noise, or inability to connect. If this
happens, try the following remedies:
— Use this system at least 10 meters
(33 feet) away from the wireless LAN
equipment.
— Turn off the power to the wireless
LAN equipment when using your
BLUETOOTH device within 10 meters
(33 feet).
— Use this system and BLUETOOTH device
as closer to each other as possible.
• The radio waves broadcast by this system
may interfere with the operation of some
medical devices. Since this interference
may result in malfunction, always turn off
the power on this system and BLUETOOTH
device in the following locations:
— In hospitals, on trains, in airplanes,
at gas stations, and any place where
flammable gases may be present
— Near automatic doors or fire alarms
• This system supports security
functions that comply with BLUETOOTH
specifications to ensure secure
connections during communication using
BLUETOOTH technology. However, this
security may be insufficient depending
on the setting contents and other factors,
so always be careful when performing
communication using BLUETOOTH
technology.
• Sony cannot be held liable in any way
for damages or other loss resulting from
information leaks during communication
using BLUETOOTH technology.
• BLUETOOTH communication is not
necessarily guaranteed with all
BLUETOOTH devices that have the same
profile as this system.
• BLUETOOTH devices connected with this
system must comply with the BLUETOOTH
specification prescribed by the Bluetooth
SIG, Inc., and must be certified to comply.
However, even when a device complies
with the BLUETOOTH specification, there
may be cases where the characteristics or
specifications of the BLUETOOTH device
make it impossible to connect, or may
result in different control methods, display
or operation.
• Noise may occur or the audio may
cut off depending on the BLUETOOTH
device connected with this system,
the communications environment, or
surrounding conditions.
