Bluetooth wireless technology

Bluetooth wireless technology is a short- range wireless technology linking digital devices, such as personal computers and digital still cameras. Using the Bluetooth wireless technology, you can operate the units involved within a range of about 10 meters.

The Bluetooth wireless technology is commonly used between two devices, but a single device can be connected to multiple devices.

You do not need wires to get connected as you do with a USB connection, and you do not need to place the devices face to face as you do with wireless infrared technology. You can use the technology with one Bluetooth device in your bag or pocket.

Bluetooth wireless technology is a global standard supported by thousands of companies. These companies produce products that meet the global standard.

Effective communication range

Bluetooth devices should be used within approximately 10 meters (unobstructed distance) of each other. The effective communication range may become shorter under the following conditions.

When a person, metal object, wall or other obstruction is between the devices with a Bluetooth connection

Locations where a wireless LAN is installedAround microwave ovens that are in useLocations where other electromagnetic waves occur

Effects of other devices

Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11b/g) use the same frequency band (2.4 GHz). When using your Bluetooth device near a device with wireless LAN capability, electromagnetic interference may occur. This could result in lower data transfer rates, noise, or inability to connect. If this happens, try the following remedies:

Try connecting this system and Bluetooth mobile phone or Bluetooth device when you are at least 10 meters away from the wireless LAN equipment.

Turn off the power to the wireless LAN equipment when using your Bluetooth device within 10 meters.
