Bluetooth® Audio playback

Radio wave caution

This unit uses a 2.4 GHz radio wave frequency, which is a band used by other wireless systems (see list below). To prevent noise or interrupted communication, do not use this unit nearby such devices, or make sure these devices are switched off during use.

• Cordless phones

• Cordless facsimiles

• Microwave ovens

• Wireless LAN devices (IEEE802.11b/g)

• Wireless AV equipment

• Wireless controllers for game systems

• Microwave-based health aids

• Some baby monitors Other, less common, equipment that may operate on the same frequency:

• Anti-theft systems

• Amateur radio stations (HAM)

• Warehouse logistic management systems

• Discrimination systems for train or emergency vehicles

Note

• In the event noise appears in your television image,

there is the possibility that a Bluetooth wireless technology enabled device or this unit (including products supported by this unit) are causing signal interference with the antenna input connector of your television, video, satellite tuner, etc. In this event, increase the distance between the antenna input connector and the Bluetooth wireless technology enabled device or this unit (including products supported by this unit).

• If there is something obstructing the path between this

unit (including devices supported by this unit) and the device equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology (such as a metal door, concrete wall, or insulation containing tinfoil), you may need to change the location of your system to prevent signal noise and interruptions.

Scope of operation

Use of this unit is limited to home use. (Transmission distances may be reduced depending on communication environment).

In the following locations, poor condition or inability to receive radio waves may cause the audio to be interrupted or stopped:

• In reinforced concrete buildings or steel framed or ironframed buildings.

• Near large metallic furniture.

• In a crowd of people or near a building or obstacle.

• In a location exposed to the magnetic field, static electricity or radio wave interference from radio communication equipment using the same frequency band (2.4 GHz) as this unit, such as a 2.4 GHz wireless LAN device (IEEE802.11b/g) or microwave oven.

• If you live in a heavily populated residential area (apartment, townhouse, etc.) and if your neighbor’s microwave is placed near your system, you may experience radio wave interference. If this occurs, move your unit to a different place. When the microwave is not in use, there will be no radio wave interference.

Radio wave reflections

The radio waves received by this unit include the radio wave coming directly from the device equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology (direct wave) and waves coming from various directions due to reflections by walls, furniture and building (reflected waves). The reflected waves (due to obstacles and reflecting objects) further produce a variety of reflected waves as well as variation in reception condition depending on locations. If the audio cannot be received properly due to this phenomenon, try moving the location of the device equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology a little. Also note that audio may be interrupted due to the reflected waves when a person crosses or approaches the space between this unit and the device equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology.
