a range of about 10 meters (about 30 feet).
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.

– This unit is installed on a shelf made of steel.

• Because Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN

(IEEE802.11b/g) use the same frequency,
microwave interference may occur and
resulting in communication speed
deterioration, noise, or invalid connection if
this unit is used near a wireless LAN device. In
such a case, perform the following.
– Use this unit at least 10 m (about 30 ft) away

from the wireless LAN device.

– If this unit is used within 10 m (about 30 ft)

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. Turn off this unit and other Bluetooth
devices in the following locations, as it may
cause an accident.
– where inflammable gas is present, in a

hospital, train, airplane, or a gas station

– near automatic doors or a fire alarm

• This 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.

• We do not take any responsibility for the

leakage of information during Bluetooth
communication.

• Connection with all Bluetooth devices cannot

be guaranteed.
– A device featuring Bluetooth function is

required to conform to the Bluetooth
standard specified by Bluetooth SIG, and be
authenticated.

– Even 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.

• Depending on the device to be connected, it

may require some time to start communication.
