-PRECAUTIONS FOR THE USE OF BLUETOOTH
-The RF for the Bluetooth is 2.4GHz band which is sharing
among Bluetooth and non-Bluetooth devices. There are
potential sources of Bluetooth (wireless) interference such as
WiFi, 2.4G wireless Camera, radar, microwave oven.
Effects of interference
A decrease in the wireless range between devices
A decrease in data throughput over Bluetooth,
Intermittent or complete loss of the wireless connection
Difficulty pairing during a Bluetooth device's discovery phase
Sources of interference
Microwave ovens: Using your microwave oven
near your computer, or Bluetooth device may
cause interference.
Direct Satellite Service (DSS): The coax cable
and connectors used with certain types of
satellite dishes may cause interference. Check
the cable for damage and obtain newer cables if
you suspect RF leakage issues.
Certain external electrical sources such as
power lines, electrical railroad tracks, and power
stations.
2.4 GHz phones: A cordless telephone that
operates in this range may cause interference
with wireless devices or networks when used.
Video senders (transmitters/receivers) that
operate in the 2.4 GHz bandwidth.
Wireless speakers that operate in the 2.4 GHz
band.

6
EN
Certain external monitors and LCD displays:
Certain displays may emit harmonic interference,
especially in the 2.4GHz band. This interference
may be at its worst if you have a portable
computer with the lid closed and an external
monitor connected to it.
Any other wireless devices that operate in the
2.4 GHz bandwidth (microwaves, cameras, baby
monitors, neighbors' wireless devices, and so
on).
Home and office environment
If possible, avoid wireless barriers, or change the placement of
the Bluetooth devices for a clearer signal path. The device's
location within building and construction materials used can
affect Bluetooth.
Outdoor and public area
Shopping mall, Airport or other highly populated with WiFi
environment which are worst environments for the Bluetooth
communication. Ernest may not functioning as good as in office
or at home. In the worst occasion, the streaming audio may
become choppy or even stop working
