What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is a computing and telecommunications industry specifi cation that describes how MP3
players, hands-free (mobile phones) and computers can easily interconnect with each other and
with home and business phones and computers using a short wireless connection.
The Bluetooth device can cause noise or malfunction, depending on the conditions of use.
Physical signal interference, for instance, if you carry a mobile phone in the back pocket and wear
the speaker in the neck, or if you hold the speaker in the one hand and the mobile phone in the
other hand
Physical contact on the transmitting or receiving system of an external device
Electrical variation from electrical jamming by a wall, corner or offi ce partitioning
Electrical interference from the same frequency-band devices including medical equipment,
microwave oven and wireless LAN

phone is, the quality will be deteriorated in proportion Besides, if the distance exceeds a
certain range, the wireless networking is disconnected.
