Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 m (about 33 feet). Connecting two devices is common, but some devices can be connected to multiple devices at the same time.• You do not need to use a cable for connection since Bluetooth technology is a wireless technology, neither is it necessary for the devices to face one another, such is the case with infrared technology. For example, you can use such a device in a bag or pocket.• Bluetooth technology is an international standard supported by millions of companies all over the world, and employed by various companies worldwide.On Bluetooth communication• Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 m. Maximum communication range may vary depending on obstacles (person, metal, wall, etc.) or electromagnetic environment.• The following conditions may affect the sensitivity of Bluetooth communication.– There is an obstacle such as a person, metal, or wall between this unit and Bluetooth device.– A device using 2.4 GHz frequency, such as a wireless LAN device, cordless telephone, or microwave oven, is in use near this unit.• Because Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b/g) use the same frequency, microwave interference may occur and result in communication speed deterioration, noise, or invalid connection if this unit is used near a wireless LAN device. In such as case, perform the following.– Use this unit at least 10 m away from the wireless LAN device.– If this unit is used within 10 m of a wireless LAN device, turn off the wireless LAN device.– Install this unit and Bluetooth device as near to each other as possible.• Microwaves emitting from a Bluetooth device may affect the operation of electronic medical devices.
