On Bluetooth communication • Bluetooth devices should be used within approximately 10 meters (33 feet) (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 installed - Around microwave ovens that are in use - Locations where other electromagnetic waves occur • 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: - Use this unit at least 10 meters (33 feet) away from the wireless LAN device. - Turn off the power to the wireless LAN equipment when using your Bluetooth device within 10 meters (33 feet). - Install this unit and Bluetooth device as closer to each other as possible. • The radio waves broadcast by this unit may interfere with the operation of some medical devices.
