Notes on using Bluetooth Wireless LAN/Wi-Fi Functions
- The Bluetooth function and wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) function of the product (including S Pen SC03P) conform to the domestic standards of Japan, FCC standards and EC Declaration, and have been certified.
- In some countries and regions, use of the Bluetooth and wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) functions may be restricted. Before you start using the product overseas, check the relevant laws and regulations of the country/region you visit.
- The 2.4 GHz band used by wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and Bluetooth devices is shared by various other devices. For this reason, the communication speed and connectable range may be decreased, or disconnection may occur, due to interference from other devices.
- Do not use the product in places where electromagnetic waves are generated or near electric products, AV and OA equipment, or other magnetized devices.
- Subjecting the product to magnetic or electrical noise might increase noise and prevent it from performing communications. (The product is particularly susceptible to noise when it used near a microwave oven.)
- Using the product near a TV, radio or similar appliance might cause reception interference and disrupt TV images.
- The searching might not be successful if there are multiple wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) access points near to the product or the same channel is being used.
- As there are usage restrictions in an airplane, follow the instructions from the airline.
- The communication speed and connectable range vary depending on the distance between communication devices and obstacles.

2.4 GHz frequency band precautions
The frequencies used by the Bluetooth and/or wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) function of the product (including S Pen SC03P) are in the 2.4 GHz band. In this frequency band, other similar wireless stations, in-plant wireless stations for mobile unit identification that require a license to use, such as factory production lines, specific small power wireless stations that do not require licenses, amateur wireless stations (collectively called "other wireless stations" from here on) are operated in addition to home electrical appliances such as microwave ovens, devices for industrial, scientific and medical devices.
- Before using the product, make sure that "other wireless stations" are not in operation nearby.
- In the event that instances of radio wave interference have occurred between the product and "other wireless stations", immediately either relocate the product or stop operation of the device (stop the emission of radio waves).
- If you are unclear on any points or are troubled by anything, contact an au shop or Customer Center.
memo
- The connections between the product and all other Bluetooth and wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) devices have not been confirmed. Therefore, connections with all Bluetooth and wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) devices are not guaranteed.
- The product supports security features for wireless communications that are compliant with the Bluetooth and wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) standard specifications, but the security may not be sufficient depending on the usage environment and configuration. Be careful when making data communication using Bluetooth or wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) function.
- Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) has the advantage that it can be freely connected anywhere within the radio wave range, as it uses radio waves for exchanging information. At the same time, there is a risk that a malicious third party may obtain unauthorized access if security settings have not been configured. You are recommended to configure security settings before using wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) at your decision and responsibility.
- The Company assumes no responsibility for leakage of data or information that may occur during Bluetooth/wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) communication.
- Since Bluetooth and wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) functions use the same frequency band, using the both functions at the same may cause radio wave interference resulting in decreased communication speed or disconnection from the network. If connection fails, stop using either of the Bluetooth and wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) functions.
Bluetooth and wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) functions of the product (including S Pen SC03P) use frequencies in the 2.4 GHz band.
- Bluetooth function: 2.4FH1/XX8
The product (including S Pen SC03P) uses the 2.4 GHz band. For FH1, FH-SS is used as the modulation scheme. The interference distance is about 10 m or less. XX8 uses other schemes and interference distance is about 80 m or less.
![]()
- Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) function: 2.4DS/OF4
The product uses the 2.4 GHz band. DS-SS and OFDM are used as the modulation schemes. The interference distance is about 40 m or less.
This means that all bandwidths can be used, and that bands of mobile unit identification devices cannot be avoided.
Available channels differ depending on the country. For use in an airplane, check with the airline company in advance.
5 GHz frequency band precautions
Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) function of the product uses 5 GHz band. Using the 5.2 GHz band/5.3 GHz band wireless LAN outdoors is prohibited by Law (except when communicating with access point of 5.2 GHz high-output data communication system or relay station).
The channels used on the product are as follows.
W52 (5.2 GHz band/36, 40, 44, 48 ch)
W53 (5.3 GHz band/52, 56, 60, 64 ch)
W56 (5.6 GHz band/100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 124, 128, 132, 136, 140, 144 ch)
Available Security Codes/PIN Code
Available security codes
The product has various security codes that you can use.
The available security codes are as follows. Do not forget the various security codes that are set as they are necessary for various operations and contracts. Make sure to change the initial value to your own unique number.
Security code
Example of usage | - To do remote operation of Voice mail and Call forwarding services from a landline phone
- To use Customer Center and to do various inquiries, applications, and modifications on the au homepage
|
Initial value | A four-digit number chosen by the customer and noted on the application form |
PIN code
PIN code
To prevent unauthorized use of the au IC card by a third party, you can set the product to require PIN code entry every time the power is turned on. You also need to enter PIN code when setting whether the PIN code entry is required.
If the PIN code is incorrectly entered three times consecutively, the PIN code will be locked. Use the PUK code to unlock the PIN code.
- PIN code is "1234" and PIN code entry was set to not be required at the time of purchase. You can change PIN code to any four- to eight-digit number, and set the PIN code entry to be required as necessary.
If you require a PIN code to be entered, make sure to change the number to your own unique number.
PUK code
In case the PIN code is locked, you can unlock it by entering the PUK code.
- PUK code is an eight-digit number given at the time of purchase, which is printed on the back side of the plastic card where your au IC card is attached.
- After entering the PUK code, you need to set a new PIN code.
- If the PUK code is incorrectly entered ten times consecutively, contact an au shop, Toyota store or the Customer Center.
- "PIN code" is not reset by initializing the product.
Notes on Data Communication Charge
- Since a constant Internet connection is possible with the product, data communication may be performed automatically by some applications, resulting in high data communication charges. Therefore, subscription to a data communication charge discount service or flat late plan is recommended.
