(KDC-BT61U only) Bluetooth antenna unit For Good Reception To assure good reception, note the following: • Communicate with the cell-phone within the line- of-sight distance of 10 m (30 ft). The communication range becomes shorter depending on the surrounding environment. The communication range also becomes shorter when there is an obstacle between this unit and the cell-phone. The above maximum communication range (10 m) is not always assured. • A broadcast station or walkie-talkie located nearby can interfere with communication due to too strong signal.
