1.15 What is a Bluetooth "stack"?
A stack is a piece of software that is installed on your computer. It allows Bluetooth devices to be recognized and used. Currently, a Bluetooth stack is required due to the fact that Windows XP and Windows 2000 do not natively support Bluetooth. A Bluetooth stack is provided with all Logitech Bluetooth desktop.
1.16 Which Bluetooth stack (software) is used in Logitech products?
The Bluetooth stack we are using is provided by Broadcom (also known as "BTW"); it allows Bluetooth devices to be recognized and used. Logitech Desktops also support the Microsoft XP SP2 Bluetooth stack. However, for optimal performance, we recommend you use the Bluetooth stack provided with your product. For instance, Microsoft is not currently offering Audio support with its stack, and therefore you are not able to connect a Bluetooth headset to your Bluetooth hub anymore.
1.17 Is Bluetooth harmful?
Wireless phones and Bluetooth devices both emit
But because it's a good idea to err on the side of caution in such matters, regulatory bodies have set exposure standards. These are expressed in terms of the "specific absorption rate" (SAR), which attempts to measure the radiation actually reaching body tissue. The U.S. and Canadian governments have set a maximum SAR of 1.6 watts per kilogram, while the European Union permits a slightly higher level. In the real world, emissions generally stay well below the maximum allowed. According to data from
for GSM BlackBerry devices fall in the range of 0.25 watts per kilogram when used at your ear.
