Radio Waves Used by this Product

This product makes use of radio waves in the ISM band (2.4 GHz).
Although a radio station license is not required for using this product, please take note of the following.

Do not use this product near the following places.

Industrial, scientific, or medical equipment, such as microwave ovens and pacemakers

Specified low-power radio stations (radio station license not required)

Wireless LAN equipment

Equipment such as the above mentioned devices makes use of the same frequency bandwidth as that of Bluetooth.
Using this product near the above equipment may cause radio wave interference, and result in communication failure or a drop in communication speed.

Avoid using this product near a TV or radio set.

TV or radio sets make use of a radio wave frequency bandwidth that is different from that of Bluetooth, and therefore has no effect on communication by this product or the TV/radio set.
However, when a TV/radio set is placed close to a Bluetooth product, electromagnetic waves emitted by the latter may cause noise to occur in the sound or images of the TV/radio.

Radio signals are unable to penetrate through reinforced steel, metal, or concrete.

The radio waves used by this product are unable to penetrate through reinforced steel, metal, or concrete materials.
Communication cannot be established if two rooms or floors are separated by these materials.
*Communication also gets weaker when there are human subjects or parts of the body in between the Bluetooth devices. Make sure that there are no obstructions in between the devices when in use.
