Bluetooth™ Networking Overview

“Bluetooth” is a worldwide standard for the exchange of data between two devices via radio frequencies. Bluetooth radios are relatively low powered to help pre- vent interference with other devices running at similar radio frequencies. This limits the range of a Bluetooth device to about 10 meters (about 32 feet).

Manual background Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation

The radiated output power of this internal wireless radio is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, this Bluetooth radio must be used in such a manner that the antenna is 2.5 cm or further from the human body.

The radio and antenna are mounted internally in this printer in such a way that, when the printer is used in a standard configuration (belt clip, soft case, shoul- der strap), the 2.5 cm distance from the users body will be met. Do not use the printer in an unauthorized manner.

The internal wireless radio operates within guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and rec- ommendations. The level of energy emitted is far less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices such as mobile phones.

In order to exchange data, two Bluetooth enabled devices must establish a connection. Bluetooth software is always running in the background, ready to respond to connection requests. One device (known as the master or the client) must request a connection with another. The second device (the slave or the server) then accepts or rejects the connection. A Bluetooth enabled Cameo will always act as a slave device. The miniature network created by this connection is sometimes referred to as a “piconet” and in theory can consist of several Bluetooth enabled devices.

Each Bluetooth Cameo has a unique Bluetooth Device
