6 Bluetooth® OPERATION Operating Bluetooth® If the UT-133A Bluetooth® unit is installed in the transceiver, you can connect a Bluetooth® headset. When you connect the VS-3 Bluetooth® headset to the transceiver, you can wirelessly transmit and receive the headset audio. The VS-3 has a [PTT] switch, so you can transmit in the same way as using the transceiver's [PTT] switch. Communication range of Bluetooth® is approximately 10 meters (32.8 ft). Electromagnetic interference When you use a Bluetooth® headset, pay attention to the following: Bluetooth® devices operate in the 2.4 GHz band. The 2.4 GHz band is also used by other devices, such as Wireless LAN products, microwave ovens, RFID systems, amateur radio stations, and so on. When using the Bluetooth® headset near such devices, interference may occur, causing a decrease in communication speed, and an unstable connection. In such cases, use the headset away from the other devices, or stop using those headsets. Optional VS-3 Bluetooth® headset Bluetooth® Transceiver with the UT-133A Bluetooth® unit The Bluetooth® communication range may vary, depending on your operating environment. Microwave ovens or Wireless LANs may cause interference. In that case, stop using those devices or move away from them. This Bluetooth® headset has a usable range. If communication is unstable, move within the range. 6-2
