1. Introduction

1.1 Bluetooth Technology

Bluetooth is an internationally standardized technology supporting short distance wireless communications. Any
two Bluetooth-compatible equipments, such as mobile phone, PDA、PC, headset, mouse, keyboards, printer, etc.

can wirelessly communicate with each other via Bluetooth connection. To ensure worldwide compatibility,

Bluetooth operates on the globally available ISM (Industrial Scientific and Medical) frequency band. Within 2.4

GHz and 2.48 GHz, Bluetooth transmits data up to either 10 meters (CLASS II mode) or 100 meters (CLASS I

mode) using 79 frequency hopping channels.

Though line-of-sight is not required, Bluetooth connections could be subject to interferences from obstructions such

as walls, human bodies, and other electronic devices. In addition, due to variations on product implementation, it is

likely that Bluetooth equipments from different manufactures have interoperability issues. In that case, you may

consult with manufactures to check product compatibility.

Note that, there could be some restrictions imposing on using Bluetooth devices in some countries. Please check

with your local authorities.
