What is BLUETOOTH technology?
ˎBLUETOOTH wireless technology is a short-range
wireless technology that enables wireless data
communication between digital devices, such as
a cellular phone and a headset. 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.
ˎYou 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.

devices in the following locations, as it may cause
an accident.
ˋwhere inflammable gas is present, in a hospital,
train, airplane, or petrol station
ˋnear automatic doors or a fire alarm
ˎThis unit supports security capabilities that
comply with the BLUETOOTH standard to provide
a secure connection when the BLUETOOTH
wireless technology is used, but security may not
be enough depending on the setting. Be careful
when communicating using BLUETOOTH wireless
technology.
ˎWe do not take any responsibility for the leakage
of information during BLUETOOTH
communication.
ˎConnection with all BLUETOOTH devices cannot
be guaranteed.
ˋA device featuring BLUETOOTH function is
required to conform to the BLUETOOTH
standard specified by BLUETOOTH SIG, and be
authenticated.
ˋEven if the connected device conforms to the
above mentioned BLUETOOTH standard, some
devices may not be connected or work
correctly, depending on the features or
specifications of the device.
ˋWhile talking on the phone handsfree, noise
may occur, depending on the device or
communication environment.
ˎDepending on the device to be connected, it may
require some time to start communication.
Others
ˎUsing the BLUETOOTH device may not function on
cellular phones, depending on radio wave
conditions and location where the equipment is
being used.
ˎIf you experience discomfort after using the
BLUETOOTH device, stop using the BLUETOOTH
device immediately. Should any problem persist,
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
If you have any questions or problems concerning
