4USWhat is Bluetooth wireless technology?Bluetooth® wireless technology is a short-range wireless technology that enables wireless data communication between digital devices, such as a computer or digital camera. Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 meters (about 30 feet). Connecting two devices as necessary 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 nor 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 standard is an international standard supported by thousands of companies all over the world, and employed by various companies worldwide.Communication System and Compatible Bluetooth Prole of this unitProle is standardization of the function for each Bluetooth device specication. is unit supports the following Bluetooth version and proles:Communication System: Bluetooth Specication version 2.0 + EDR*Compatible Bluetooth Prole:– A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Prole)– AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Prole)* Enhanced Data RateNotes To be able to use the Bluetooth function, the Bluetooth device to be connected requires the same prole as the unit’s.Note also that even if the same prole exists, devices may vary in function depending on their specications. Due to the characteristic of Bluetooth wireless technology the sound transmitted from this unit is slightly delayed during listening to the music.
5USFeaturesis unit is an audio transmitter using Bluetooth wireless technology.You can enjoy music wirelessly by transmitting the audio signals to a Bluetooth receiving device (headset, car stereo, speaker, stereo component system, etc.), if you connect this unit to the iPod (see page 2 on compatible iPod models) with the iPod connector (30 pin).is unit’s features are as follows: Wireless transmitter for streaming of high-quality stereo music from iPod. Transmits music to other devices using Bluetooth wireless technology.*1 Basic remote control operation (play, pause, etc.) of iPod functions via Bluetooth connection.*2 Transmitter power supplied from iPod so no additional battery or charging is needed.*1 e connected Bluetooth device is required to support A2DP(Advanced AudioDistribution Prole).*2 The connected Bluetooth device is required to support AVRCP(Audio Video Remote Control Profile). iPod with dock connector port (30 pin)This unitBluetooth headset, etc. TipFor details on Bluetooth technology, see page 4.
