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 (30 feet).
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.
Communication system and compatible BLUETOOTH profiles of the unit
Profile is standardization of the function for each BLUETOOTH device specification. The unit supports the following
BLUETOOTH version and profiles:
Communication system:
BLUETOOTH Specification Ver. 3.0
Compatible BLUETOOTH profiles:
A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile): Transmitting or receiving audio content of high-quality.
AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile): Controlling A/V equipment; pausing, stopping, starting playback, etc.
HSP (Headset Profile)(*): Talking on the phone/Operating the phone.
HFP (Hands-free Profile)(*): Talking on the phone/Operating the phone by hands-free.

When you use a BLUETOOTH mobile phone supported by both HFP (Hands-free Profile) and HSP (Headset Profile), set it to
HFP.
Maximum communication range
Use the devices within a range of about 10 m (30 feet) of line of sight.
Maximum communication range may shorten under the following conditions.
There is an obstacle such as a person, metal, or wall between this unit and the BLUETOOTH device.
A Wi-Fi device is in use near this unit.
A microwave oven is in use near this unit.
A device that generates electromagnetic radiation is in use near this unit.
Interference from other devices
Because BLUETOOTH devices and Wi-Fi (IEEE802.11b/g) use the same frequency, microwave interference may occur
and resulting in communication speed deterioration, noise, or invalid connection if this unit is used near a Wi-Fi device.
In such a case, perform the following.
