Additional information

The data transfer rate varies, depending on the following conditions:

Obstacles, such as walls, located between devices

Distance between devices

Material used in walls

Proximity to microwaves and cordless telephones

Radio frequency interference and other environmental conditions

Device configuration

Type of software application

Type of operating system

Use of both Wireless LAN and Bluetooth functionalities at the same time on the computer

Size of file being exchanged

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.

Please 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.

All Bluetooth devices must be certified to make sure that the applicable standard requirements are maintained. Even if standards are met, individual device performance, specifications, and operation procedures can vary. Data exchange may not be possible in all situations.
