CAUTION

Communications are conducted via a Bluetooth antenna. Do not do anything to block the radio waves, for example by obstructing the antenna segment with your hand.

NOTE

Communication speeds and distances may vary depending on surrounding conditions, such as the other device sending or receiving communications and the installation environment. It is a characteristic of radio waves that communication speeds will tend to decrease as the communication distance increases. We recommend that communications between Bluetooth devices be conducted in as close proximity as possible. Communication speeds may decrease if a microwave oven is being used nearby.
