Precautions

On BLUETOOTH® communications

•

Bluetooth wireless technology operates within

a range of about 10 m (30 feet). The maximum

communication distance may vary depending

on the presence of obstacles (people, metal

objects, walls, etc.) or the electromagnetic

environment.

•

Bluetooth communications may not be

possible, or noise or audio dropout may occur

under the following conditions:

– When there is a person between the unit and

the Bluetooth device. This situation may be

improved by positioning the Bluetooth device

so that it faces the antenna of the unit.

– When there is an obstacle, such as a metal

object or a wall, between the unit and the

Bluetooth device.

– When a Wi-Fi device or microwave oven is in

use, or microwaves are emitted near the unit.

– Compared to use indoors, use outdoors is

subjected little to signal reflection from walls,

floors, and ceilings, which results in audio

dropout occurring more frequently than use

indoors.

– The antenna is built into the unit as indicated

by the dotted line in the illustration below.

The sensitivity of the Bluetooth

communications can be improved by

removing any obstacles between the

connected Bluetooth device and the antenna

of this unit.

•

Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (IEEE802.11b/g/n) devices

use the same frequency (2.4 GHz). When using

the unit near a Wi-Fi device, electromagnetic

interference may occur, resulting in noise,

audio dropout, or the inability to connect. If this

happens, try performing the following

remedies:

– Establish a connection between the unit and

the Bluetooth device when they are at least

10 m (30 feet) away from the Wi-Fi device.

– Turn off the Wi-Fi device when using the unit

within 10 m (30 feet) of the Wi-Fi device.

– Position the unit and the Bluetooth device as

near as possible to each other.

•

Microwaves emitting from a Bluetooth device

may affect the operation of electronic medical

devices. Turn off this unit and other Bluetooth

devices in the following locations, as it may

cause an accident:

– in hospitals, near priority seating in trains,

locations where inflammable gas is present,

near automatic doors, or near fire alarms.

•

The audio playback on this unit may be

delayed from that on the transmitting device,

due to the characteristics of Bluetooth wireless

technology. As a result, the sound may not be

in sync with the image when viewing movies or

playing games.

•

This product emits radio waves when used in

wireless mode.

Précautions

À propos des communications

BLUETOOTH®

•

La technologie sans fil Bluetooth fonctionne

dans un rayon d’environ 10 m (30 pieds). La

distance maximale de communication peut

varier en fonction de la présence d’obstacles

(personnes, objets métalliques, murs, etc.) ou

de l’environnement électromagnétique.

•

Les communications Bluetooth peuvent ne pas

être possibles ou du bruit ou des pertes

sonores peuvent se produire dans les

conditions suivantes :

– Lorsqu’il y a une personne entre l’appareil et

le périphérique Bluetooth. Cette situation

peut être améliorée en plaçant le

périphérique Bluetooth de manière à ce qu’il

soit face à l’antenne de l’appareil.

– Lorsqu’il y a un obstacle, tel qu’un objet

métallique ou un mur, entre l’appareil et le

périphérique Bluetooth.

– Lorsqu’un périphérique Wi-Fi ou un four à

micro-ondes est en cours d’utilisation ou que

des micro-ondes sont émises à proximité de

l’appareil.

– Comparativement à une utilisation intérieure,

l’utilisation extérieure est peu soumise à la

réflexion du signal sur les murs, les sols et les

plafonds, ce qui entraîne une perte sonore

plus fréquente que lors de l’utilisation à

l’intérieur.

– L’antenne est intégrée à l’appareil comme
