(about 30 ft).
Maximum communication range may
vary depending on obstacles (person,
metal, wall, etc.) or electromagnetic
environment.
•The antenna
of this unit is built into the
unit. The sensitivity
of BLUETOOTH
communication will improve by placing
aconnected BLUETOOTH device near
the unit.
•The following conditions may affect the
sensitivity
of BLUETOOTH
communication.
-There is an obstacle such as aperson,
metal, or wall between this unit and
BLUETOOTH device.
- A device using 2.4 GHz frequency,
such as awireless LAN device,
cordless telephone, or microwave
oven, is
in use near this unit.
•Because BLUETOOTH devices and
wireless LAN (IEEE802.11big) use the
same frequency, microwave
interference may occur and resulting in
communication speed deterioration,
noise, or invalid connection if this unit
is used near awireless LAN device. In
such as case, perform the following.
-Use this unit at least 10 m(about 30
ft) away from the wireless LAN
device.

following locations, as it may cause
an accident.
-where inflammable gas
is present,
in ahospital, train, airplane, or a
petrol station
-near automatic doors or afire alarm
•This unit supports security
capabilities that comply with
the
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,
and be authenticated.
-Even if the connected device
conforms to the above mentioned
BLUETOOTH standard, some
devices may not be connected or
work correctly, depending
on the
features or specifications of the
device.
-While talking on the phone hands
free, noise may occur, depending
on the device or communication
environment.
•Depending on the device to
be
