Notes on use
Wireless communications
The 2.4 GHz band used by Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN devices is also used by
various other devices. Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN devices use the technology
to minimize the interference from other devices that use the same wave length.
Simultaneous use of the Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN devices, however, may
cause radio interference and result in reduced communication speeds and distance
than the standard values.
The data transfer rate will vary depending on distance and obstacles between devices,
device configuration, radio interference, operating system, software application, and so
on. In some cases, communication may be interrupted.
Communication range will vary according to whether walls or other obstacles are
located between devices, the material used in walls, the presence of radio frequency
interference and other environmental conditions, and the type of software being used.
If Bluetooth functionality and wireless LAN functionality are used at the same time on
the same personal computer, communication speed may be reduced due to
electromagnetic interference, and other unwanted effects may occur.
Maintenance
When you clean the keyboard, make sure to remove the batteries.
Clean the outside of the keyboard with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive
pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
