Connecting to mobile device
Notices for using Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that uses a 2.4 GHz frequency to connect to
various devices over short distances. It can connect and exchange data with other Bluetooth
enabled devices, such as mobile devices, computers, printers, and other digital home
appliances, without connecting via cables.
•
To avoid problems when connecting your controller to another device, place the devices
close to each other.
•
Ensure that your controller and the other Bluetooth device are within the maximum
Bluetooth range. The distance may vary depending on the environment the devices are
used in.
•
Ensure that there are no obstacles between the controller and a connected device,
including human bodies, walls, corners, or fences.
•
Do not touch the Bluetooth antenna of a connected device.
•
Bluetooth uses the same frequency as some industrial, scientific, medical, and low power
products and interference may occur when making connections near these types of
products.
•
Some devices, especially those that are not tested or approved by the Bluetooth SIG, may
be incompatible with your controller.
•
Do not use the Bluetooth feature for illegal purposes (for example, pirating copies of files
or illegally tapping communications for commercial purposes).
