Registering Bluetooth devices
– DCR-TRV80/TRV80E only
Before communication
What is Bluetooth wireless technology?
Bluetooth wireless technology allows communication between various Bluetooth devices without using cables. Devices which can use this technology include PCs, computer peripheral devices, PDAs, and mobile phones. This omnidirectional communication system enables connection even if a Bluetooth device is in a bag, for example, or there is an obstacle between the devices. Also, the Bluetooth wireless technology has advanced security functions, such as scrambled frequencies and data encryption.
Authentication
The authentication routine can block unspecified users’ access to this network. When attempting communication with an unregistered Bluetooth device, the devices must first be registered with each other by entering a common passkey to each device. When connecting with a previously registered Bluetooth device, communication starts without you entering the passkey.
Tip on “Passkey”
The passkey is a 1 to 16 character identification number needed to allow two Bluetooth devices to communicate with each other. The connection will be permitted after entering the passkey. This “Passkey” is sometimes referred to as the “Bluetooth passkey”, “PIN”, “Bluetooth PIN”, etc.
Radio wave indication
indicates the radio wave status of the connected Bluetooth device. (Use this
indication as a guide.)

Registering Bluetooth devices
Registering a Bluetooth device
To enable your camcorder to communicate with a Bluetooth device, the devices should be registered with each other. Here we describe how to register the Sony Modem Adaptor with Bluetooth Function. Once registration is complete, you do not have to reregister the Bluetooth device as long as you do not cancel registration. You can register up to three Bluetooth devices on your camcorder. Refer also to the operating instructions supplied with your Bluetooth device.
For details of Bluetooth devices compatible with your camcorder, access the following URL: For customers in Canada http://www.sony.ca/service/ For customers in the areas other than Canada http://www.css.ap.sony.com/
Using the Modem Adaptor with Bluetooth Function
Connect your camcorder to a Bluetooth device by Bluetooth wireless technology.

Notes
•When using Sony BTA-NW1/BTA-NW1A Modem Adaptor with Bluetooth Function, place it so that there are no obstacles between your camcorder and the device. The distance between the devices must be within 10 m (33 feet).
•The connection may be interrupted depending on the communication conditions.
•When your camcorder is connected to a USB device, your camcorder cannot communicate via a Bluetooth device.
•Do not remove the battery pack while your camcorder is communicating with Bluetooth devices. Doing so may cause malfunction of your camcorder.
