Bluetooth®/Wi-Fi (WLAN)ÐFrequenciesÐNotes on Using Bluetooth®DevicesÐReception Interference Caused by Wi-Fi (WLAN) DevicesÐWi-Fi (WLAN)ÐNotes on Using 2.4 GHz DevicesÐNotes on Using 5 GHz DevicesÐReception Interference Caused by Bluetooth®DevicesFrequenciesFrequency band used by handset Bluetooth®/Wi-Fi (WLAN) functions are as follows:2.4䠖Frequency band is 2400 MHzFH/XX/DS/OF䠖Modulations are FH-SS, other modulation, DS-SS, OFDM4䠖Estimated range of radio frequency interference is up to 40 m8䠖Estimated range of radio frequency interference is up to 80 m䠖Utilizes 2,400 MHz to 2,483.5 MHz band without mobile device bandwidth differentiationAvailable channels may vary by country.For use in an airplane, contact your airline.Notes on Using Bluetooth®DevicesHandset operates on the same frequency band used by home electric appliances such as microwave ovens, industrial, scientific and medical equipment, premises radio stations for identifying mobile units used in the manufacturing lines of plants (radio stations requiring a license), specified 15
low power radio stations (radio stations requiring no license) and amateur radio stations (hereinafter referred to as "another station.")Before using handset Bluetooth®function, confirm that premises radio stations, specified low power radios and amateur radios are not in use nearby.In the event of handset causing harmful radio wave interference with "another station," promptly change the operating frequency or stop radio wave emission by turning off the power, etc.For further questions, contact a SoftBank Shop or SoftBank Customer Support.Reception Interference Caused by Wi-Fi (WLAN) DevicesHandset Bluetooth®function uses the same frequency band as Wi-Fi (WLAN) devices. Using near Wi-Fi (WLAN) devices may cause radio interference, low-communication speed, noise or connection failure. In that case, take the following measures.Provide distance between Bluetooth®device and Wi-Fi (WLAN) device. Required distance varies by device.If the problem persists, power off Bluetooth®device or Wi-Fi (WLAN) device.Wi-Fi (WLAN)Wi-Fi (WLAN) uses radio waves to exchange information and LAN connection is freely established within an area where the radio wave reaches. Meanwhile, if no security is set, Wi-Fi communications may be intercepted or hacked by malicious parties. It is recommended to make necessary security settings on your responsibility.Use handset WLAN function only in Japan.Do not use Wi-Fi near magnetic devices such as electrical appliances or AV/OA devices. Magnetic/radio waves may hinder or disable communication. Avoid microwave ovens especially. Using near a TV or radio, etc. may cause interference; may affect TV reception.If there are multiple Wi-Fi access points using the same channel, search may fail. Enable Wi-Fi to search available Wi-Fi networks and then establish connection.Connect to Wi-Fi network before accessing Internet via Wi-Fi (WLAN).Take care with radio signal strength for Wi-Fi (WLAN). Radio signal strength for Wi-Fi network differs depending on the access point location. Moving close to a Wi-Fi router may improve radio signal strength.To save battery power, disable Wi-Fi (WLAN) when not used.16
Notes on Using 2.4 GHz DevicesWLAN devices operate on the same frequency band used by home electric appliances such as microwave ovens, industrial, scientific and medical equipment, premises radio stations for identifying mobile units used in the manufacturing lines of plants (radio stations requiring a license), specified low power radio stations (radio stations requiring no license) and amateur radio stations.Before using handset, confirm that premises radio stations, specified low power radios, and amateur radio stations are not in use nearby.In the event of handset causing harmful radio wave interference with premises radio stations for identifying mobile units, promptly change the operating frequency or stop radio wave emission by turning off the power, etc. and then contact a SoftBank Shop or SoftBank Customer Support for measurement against the cross talk (e.g. installing partition.)Also, in the event of handset causing radio wave interference with specified low power radios and amateur radio stations, contact a SoftBank Shop or SoftBank Customer Support.Notes on Using 5 GHz DevicesIn 5 GHz frequency bandwidth, handset can use following bands:5.2 GHz band (W52/36, 40, 44, 48 ch)5.3 GHz band (W53/52, 56, 60, 64 ch)5.6 GHz band (W56/100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 124, 128, 132, 136, 140 ch)Using wireless LAN built-into handset in 5.2/5.3 GHz outside is prohibited by the Radio Law.Reception Interference Caused by Bluetooth®DevicesBluetooth®and WLAN (IEEE802.11b/g/n) use the same frequency band. Using near Wi-Fi (WLAN) devices may cause radio interference, low-communication speed, noise or connection fault. Or may cause communication interruption or sound distortion when streaming data is played. In that case, take the following measures.Provide distance between Wi-Fi (WLAN) device and Bluetooth®device. Required distance varies by device.If the problem persists, power off Bluetooth®device.17
