Notes on the Bluetooth function

Depending on the Bluetooth audio device connected with your linear PCM recorder, the communication environment,
or the ambient conditions, you may hear noises or audio dropouts. To optimize the Bluetooth communications,
observe the following.
Place your linear PCM recorder and the Bluetooth audio device as close together as possible (up to 10 m (33
feet) according to the Bluetooth standards).
Keep the built-in Bluetooth antenna of your linear PCM recorder pointed in the direction toward the connected
Bluetooth audio device.
Keep the antenna free of metallic obstruction, such as a bag or a case.
Stay away from the antenna to keep it free of obstruction.
Keep your linear PCM recorder out of baggage, such as a backpack or a shoulder bag, to keep the built-in
antenna free of obstruction.
Avoid using the Bluetooth function in crowded places.
Avoid using the Bluetooth function in the vicinity of devices that emit radio waves (microwave ovens, mobile
phones, portable gaming devices with communication capabilities, wireless LANs, etc.)
Due to the characteristics of Bluetooth wireless technology, playback audio may be conveyed with a slight delay.
Radio waves emitted from a Bluetooth device may affect the operation of equipment such as electronic medical
devices. Turn off your linear PCM recorder and other Bluetooth devices in the following locations as failure to do so
may cause an accident.
In hospitals, near priority seats on trains, in airplanes, in places such as gasoline stations where flammable gases
are present, near automatic doors or fire alarms.
Your linear PCM recorder has the security features compliant with the Bluetooth standards. However, please be
advised that we assume no liability for information leaks caused by your use of Bluetooth connections.
Bluetooth connections and accurate activities are not all guaranteed, despite the fact that a Bluetooth audio device is
compliant with the Bluetooth standards.
Depending on the target device, it may take some time before the Bluetooth connection is established.
Bluetooth wireless technology allows connection at distance of up to about 10 meters (33 feet). However, the
effective range may vary depending on obstructions (people, metals, wall, etc.) or signal status.
Because Bluetooth and wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b/g) devices use the same frequency (2.4 GHz), signal
interference may occur, resulting in communication speed decrease, noise, or inability to connect, if Bluetooth
communications are used near a wireless LAN device. In such cases, take the following measures.
Perform Bluetooth communications at least 10 m (33 feet) away from the wireless LAN device when connecting
your linear PCM recorder and a Bluetooth device.
Place your linear PCM recorder and the Bluetooth device as close together as possible.
