Troubleshooting

Why is my Bluetooth connection slow?

The data transfer speed depends on the obstacles and/or the distance between the two devices, on the radio wave quality,
and on the operating system or the software in use. Move your computer and Bluetooth devices closer to each other.

The 2.4 GHz radio frequency used by Bluetooth and wireless LAN devices is also used by other devices. Bluetooth
devices incorporate technology that minimizes interference from other devices using the same wavelength, however,
communication speed and connection range may be reduced. Interference from other devices may also stop
communication altogether.

Connection availability is affected by distance and obstructions. You may need to move your computer away from
obstructions or closer to the device to which it is connected.

Identify and remove obstacles between your computer and the device to which it is connected.

Note that due to limitations of the Bluetooth standard, large files may occasionally be corrupted during continuous transfer
due to electromagnetic interference from the environment.

Why can't I connect to service supported by the target Bluetooth device?

Connection is only possible for services also supported by the computer with the Bluetooth functionality. For more details,
see the help file on the Bluetooth utility software.

Can I use a device with Bluetooth technology on airplanes?

With Bluetooth technology, your computer transmits a radio frequency of 2.4 GHz. Sensitive locations, such as hospitals and
airplanes, may have restrictions on use of Bluetooth devices, due to radio interference. Check with facility staff to see if use
of the Bluetooth functionality on the computer is permitted.
