Maintaining the R1018

To maintain your R1018 in good working
condition:

• Do not scratch the screen. Use the supplied
Stylus or plastic-tipped pens intended for use
with a touch-sensitive screen. Never use a
pen or pencil or other sharp object on the
screen.

• Although your R1018 is water and dust
resistant, do not expose it to rain or moisture
for an extended period of time. Treat your
R1018 as you would for a pocket calculator
or other electronic instrument.

• The touch-sensitive screen of your R1018
contains glass. Do not drop your R1018 or
subject it to a strong impact.

• Protect your R1018 from temperature
extremes. Do not leave it on the dashboard
of a car on a hot day, and keep away from
heat sources.

• Do not store or use your R1018 in any
location that is extremely dusty, damp or wet.

• If the surface of the R1018 screen becomes
soiled, clean it with a soft cloth moistened
with a diluted window-cleansing solution.

• R1018 should be strictly kept within 20±5 °C
temperature range if you want to store it for a
period of 6 months and beyond, otherwise
the battery may be permanently damaged.
This is due to the limitation of the lithium ion/

Bluetooth Regulatory Information

FHSS Descriptions

1. Output Power and Channel Separation of a Bluetooth Device
in the Different Operating Modes

The different operating modes (data-mode, acquisition-mode) of a
Bluetooth device don't influence the output power and the channel
spacing. There is only one transmitter, which is driven by identical
input parameters concerning these t wo parameters. Only a d ifferent
hopping sequence will be used. For this reason, t he RF parameters
in one op-mode are sufficient.

2. Frequency Range of a Bluetooth Device

The maximum frequenc y of the de vice is 2402 MHz - 2 480 MHz. T his
is according the Bluetooth Core Specification V 1.1.

3. Co-Ordination of the Hopping Sequence in Data Mode to
Avoid Simultaneous Occupancy by Multiple Transmitters

Bluetooth units, which want to communicate with other units, must be
organized in a structure called piconet. This piconet consist of
maximum 8 Bluetoot h units. One unit is the m aster the other seven
are the slaves. The m aster co- ordinates f requenc y occupation in this
piconet for all units . As the master hop sequence is der ived from it's
BD address which is unique for every Bluetooth device, additional
masters intend ing to esta blish new piconets will alwa ys use diff erent
hop sequences.

4. Example of a Hopping Sequence in Data Mode: Example of a
79 hopping sequence in data mode:

40, 21, 44, 23, 42, 53, 46, 55, 48, 33, 52, 35, 50, 65, 54, 67, 56, 37,
60, 39, 58, 69, 62, 71, 64, 25, 68, 27, 66, 57, 70, 59, 72, 29, 76, 31,
74, 61, 78, 63, 01, 41, 05, 43, 03, 73, 07, 75, 09, 45, 13, 47, 11, 77,
15, 00, 64, 49, 66, 53, 68, 02, 70, 06, 01, 51, 03, 55, 05, 04

30

5. Equally Average Use of Frequencies in Data M ode and Short
Transmissions

The generation of the hopping sequence in connection mode
depends essentially on two input values:

1. LAP/UAP of the master of the connection

2. Internal master clock

The LAP (lower address part) is the 24 LSB's of the 48 BD­ADDRESS. The BD A DDRESS is an u nambiguous num ber of ever y
Bluetooth unit. The UAP (upper address part) are the 24 MSB's of
the 48 BD-ADDRESS. The internal clock of a Bluetooth unit is
derived from a free running clock, which is never adjusted and is
never turned off. For synchronization with other units, only the offsets
are used. It has no relation to the time of the day. Its resolut ion is at
least half the RX/T X slot le ngth of 312. 5IJs. T he clock has a c ycle of
about one day (23h30). In most case it is implemented as a 28-bit
counter. For the derivin g of the hop ping s equence the entire L AP (24
bits), 4 LSB's (4 bits) (Inpu t 1) and the 27 MSB's of the clock (Input

2) are used. With this input va lues dif f er ent mathematical pr oc ed ures
(permutations, additions, XOR-operations) are performed to
generate the sequence. T his will be done at the beginning of every
new transmission.

Regarding short transmissions, the Bluetooth system has the
following behavior:

The first connection between the two devices is established, a
hopping sequence is generated. For transmitting the wanted data,
the complete hopp ing s equ enc e is not used and the connection ends.
The second connect ion will be es ta bl ished. A new hopping sequ enc e
is generated. Due to the fact that the Bluetooth c lock has a dif ferent
value, because the period between the two transmission is longer
(and it cannot be shorter) than the minimum resolution of the clock

(312.5 μs). The hop pin g s e quence wil l a l wa ys dif f er f r om the f irs t one.

6. Receiver Input Bandwidth, Synchronization and Repeated
Single or Multiple Packets

The input bandwidth of the receiver is 1 MHz. In e very connectio n,
one Bluetooth device is the m aster and the other one is the slave.
The master determ ines the hopping sequence (see section 5). The
slave follows this sequence. Both dev ices shift between RX and TX
time slot accor din g t o t he c l ock of the mast er. Add it ion ally the type of
connection (e.g. single or m ulti-slot pac ket) is set up at the begi nnin g
of the connection. T he master adapts its hoppin g frequency and its
TX/RX timing is ac cordin g to the pack et t ype of the co nnecti on. Also ,
the slave of the connection uses these settings. Repeating of a
packet has no influence on the hopping sequence. The hopping
sequence generated by the m aster of the connec tion wil l be fol lowed
in any case. That m eans, a repeated pack et will not be send on t he

same frequency, it is send on the next frequency of the hopping
sequence.

7. Dwell Time in Data Mode

The dwell time of 0.3797s within a 30 seconds period in data mode is
independent from the packet t ype (pac ket length). The c alcu lat ion f or
a 30 seconds period is as follows:

Dwell time = time slot length * hop rate / number of hopping channels
*30s

Example for a DH1 pack et (with a maxim um length of one tim e slot)
Dwell time = 625 IJs * 1600 1/s /79 * 30s = 0.3797s (in a 30s period)

For multi-slot pack et the hopping is reduced according to the length
of the packet.

Example for a DH5 packet (with a maximum length of five time slots)
Dwell time = 5 * 625 μs * 1600 * 1/5 *1/s / 79 * 30s = 0.3797s (in a

30s period)
This is according the Bluetooth Core Specification V 1.1 for all

Bluetooth devices . Therefore, all Bluetooth devices comply with the
FCC dwell time requirement in the data mode. This was checked
during the Bluetooth Qualification tests. The Dwell time in hybrid
mode is approximately 2.6ms (in a 12.8s period).

8. Channel Separation in Hybrid Mode

The nominal channel spacing of the Bluetooth system is 1 MHz
independent of the operating mode. The maximum "initial carrier
frequency tolerance" which is allowed for Bluetooth is center = 75
kHz.

This was checked during the Bluetooth Qualification tests (Test
Case: TRM/CA/07-E) for three frequencies (2402MHz, 2441MHz,
2480 MHz).

9. Derivation and Examples for a Hopping Sequence in Hybrid
Mode

For the generation of the inquir y and page ho p sequences the same
procedures as desc ribed f or the d ata m ode are used ( see sec tion 5),
but this time with different input vectors:

• For the inquiry hop sequence, a predefined fixed address is
always used. T his r esu lt in the sa me 32 frequenc ies used by all
devices doing an inquiry but every time with a different start
frequency and phase in this sequenc e.

• For the page hop sequ ence, the device address of the pa ged
unit is used as the input vector. This results in the use of a
subset of 32 frequenc ies, which is s pec if ic f or that ini tia l s tate of
the connection esta blishm ent between the two units. A page to
different devices would result in a different subset of 32
frequencies.

So it is ensured that also in hybrid mode, the frequency is used
equally on average.

Example of a hopping sequence in inquiry mode:
48, 50, 09, 13, 52, 54, 41, 45, 56, 58, 11, 15, 60 , 62, 43, 47,00, 02,

64, 68, 04, 06, 17, 21,08, 10, 66,70, 12, 14,19, 23
Example of a hopping sequence in paging mode:
08, 57, 68, 70, 51, 02, 42, 40, 04, 61, 44, 46, 63, 14, 50, 48, 16, 65,

52, 54, 67, 18, 58, 56, 20, 53, 60, 62, 55, 06, 66, 64

10. Receiver Input Bandwidth and Synchronization in Hybrid
Mode

The receiver input bandwidth is the same as in the data mode (1
MHz). When two B lu etoo th devic es establish contact f o r the f ir st t ime,
one device sends an inquiry access code and the other device is
scanning for this inquiry access code. If two devices have been
connected previous ly and want to start a ne w transmiss ion, a similar
procedure takes place. The only difference is , instead of the inquiry
access code, a speci al ac c es s c ode, der iv ed f r om the BD-ADDRESS
of the paged device will be, will be sent by the master of this
connection. Due to the fact that both units have been connected
before (in the inquiry procedure) the paging unit has timing and
frequency information about the page scan of the paged unit. For this
reason the time to establish the connection is reduced.

11. Spread Rate I Data Rate of the Direct Sequence Signal

The spread rate / data rate in inquiry and paging mode can be
defined via the acc es s c ode. The access code is the only criterion for
the system to check if there is a valid transmission or not. If you
regard the presenc e of a v alid acc ess c ode as one bit of infor m ation,
and compare it with the length of the access code of 68 bits, the
spread rate / data rate will be 68/1.

12. Spurious Emission in Hybrid Mode

The dwell in hybrid mode is shorter than in data mode. For this
reason the spurious em issions average level in data m ode is worst
case. The spurious emissions peak level is the same for both modes.
