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.
 Connection with all Bluetooth devices cannot be guaranteed.
– A device featuring Bluetooth function is required to conform to
the Bluetooth standard specified by Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and be
