Caution
- When registering a device, be sure to select the correct target device in Bluetooth settings.
If the target device is wrong, connection cannot be established even if the device is registered. - Although connections within a range of 10 m may be supported by this unit, the nearer the device, the better the communication.
- Perform communication at a location that is at least 2 m away from other electrical products, such as AV or OA equipment. In particular, communication by this product is susceptible to influences by microwave ovens. In this case, allow a distance of at least 3 m. Failure to do so may result in communication errors. Also, reception of a TV or radio set may deteriorate if it is placed near this product.
- Communication may not be carried out properly near radio equipment or broadcasting stations. In this case, change the location accordingly.
- Radio wave interference by wireless LAN equipment
Wireless LAN equipment makes use of the same frequency bandwidth (2.4 GHz) as that of the Bluetooth devices. Using this product near such equipment may cause radio wave interference, and result in a drop in communication speed or connection failure. In this case, turn off the power of devices that are not in use.
