About Bluetooth
Communications are conducted via a Bluetooth antenna.
Do not do anything to block the radio waves, for example by obstructing the antenna
segment with your hand.
Communication speeds and distances may vary depending on surrounding condi-
tions, such as the other device sending or receiving communications and the instal-
lation environment.
It is a characteristic of radio waves that communication speeds will tend to decrease
as the communication distance increases. We recommend that communications be-
tween Bluetooth devices be conducted in as close proximity as possible.
Communication speeds may decrease if a microwave oven is being used nearby.
