About Bluetooth function What is Bluetooth technology? • Bluetooth wireless technology is a short- range wireless technology that enables wireless data communication between digital devices, such as a cellular phone and a headset. Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 m (about 33 feet). Connecting two devices is common, but some devices can be connected to multiple devices at the same time. • You do not need to use a cable for connection since Bluetooth technology is a wireless technology, neither is it necessary for the devices to face one another, such is the case with infrared technology. For example, you can use such a device in a bag or pocket. • Bluetooth technology is an international standard supported by millions of companies all over the world, and employed by various companies worldwide. On Bluetooth communication • Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 m. Maximum communication range may vary depending on obstacles (person, metal, wall, etc.) or electromagnetic environment. • The following conditions may affect the sensitivity of Bluetooth communication. - There is an obstacle such as a person, metal, or wall between this unit and Bluetooth device. - A device using 2.4 GHz frequency, such as a wireless LAN device, cordless telephone, or microwave oven, is in use near this unit. • Because Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b/g) use the same frequency, microwave interference may occur and result in communication speed deterioration, noise, or invalid connection if this unit is used near a wireless LAN device. In such as case, perform the following. - Use this unit at least 10 m away from the wireless LAN device. - If this unit is used within 10 m of a wireless LAN device, turn off the wireless LAN device. - Install this unit and Bluetooth device as near to each other as possible. • 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. - where inflammable gas is present, in a hospital, train, airplane, or petrol station - near automatic doors or a fire alarm • This unit supports security capabilities that comply with the Bluetooth standard to provide a secure connection when the Bluetooth wireless technology is used, but security may not be enough depending on the setting. Be careful when communicating using Bluetooth wireless technology. • We do not take any responsibility for the leakage of information during Bluetooth communication. • Connection with all Bluetooth devices cannot be guaranteed. - A device featuring Bluetooth function is required to conform to the Bluetooth standard specified by Bluetooth SIG, and be authenticated. - Even if the connected device conforms to the above mentioned Bluetooth standard, some devices may not be connected or work correctly, depending on the features or specifications of the device. - While talking on the phone hands free, noise may occur, depending on the device or communication environment. • Depending on the device to be connected, it may require some time to start communication. Others • Using the Bluetooth device may not function on cellular phones, depending on radio wave conditions and location where the equipment is being used. • If you experience discomfort after using the Bluetooth device, stop using the Bluetooth device immediately. Should any problem persist, consult your nearest Sony dealer. If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit that are not covered in this manual, consult your nearest Sony dealer. 27
