Introduction to wireless communication
With your notebook with an integrated BLUETOOTH™ module you can communicate wirelessly with
other BLUETOOTH devices, e.g. with another notebook. This notebook with integrated
BLUETOOTH is a Power Class 1 device, i.e. it has a maximum range of 100 meters. The range of
the communication paths is shortened depending on the user environment (e.g. walls or furniture),
building structure and output power class of the partner.
BLUETOOTH supports many functions (Services), e.g. wireless printing of documents, accessing the
Internet and transmitting or receiving data, e-mails and faxes.
i
However, please note that not every BLUETOOTH device can make use of all Services.
Details for your device are contained in the operating manual.
Technical information on wireless communication can be found on our website at
www.fujitsu-siemens.com/wireless.
This operating manual describes how to put BLUETOOTH into operation and install the related
Plugfree software. Read through this manual carefully before you use BLUETOOTH for the first time.
Familiarise yourself with the proper use of the technology.
What must be observed when setting up the notebook and when operating notebooks with a radio
connection is contained in the chapter "Important notes".
You will find additional information in the manuals for your notebook, your operating system and the
Plugfree online help.
