What is Bluetooth wireless technology?

Bluetooth® wireless technology is a short-range wireless technology that enables wireless data communication between digital devices, such as a computer or digital camera. Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 meters (about 30 feet). Connecting two devices as necessary is common, but some devices can be connected to multiple devices at the same time. You do not need to use a cable for connection, nor is it necessary for the devices to face one another, such is the case with infrared technology. For example, you can use such a device in a bag or pocket. Bluetooth standard is an international standard supported by thousands of companies all over the world, and employed by various companies worldwide.

Communication System and Compatible Bluetooth Profiles of this unit

Profile is standardization of the function for each Bluetooth device specification. This unit supports the following Bluetooth version and profiles:

Communication System : Bluetooth Specification version 2.1 + EDR*

Compatible Bluetooth Profiles: – A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution

Profile): Transmitting or receiving audio content of high-quality.

– AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control

Profile): Controlling A/V equipment; pausing, stopping, starting playback, volume control, etc.

– HSP (Headset Profile)*

phone/Operating the phone.

– HFP (Hands-free Profile)*

the phone/Operating the phone by hands-free.

*1 Enhanced Data Rate *2 When you use a Bluetooth mobile phone

supported by both HFP (Hands-free Profile) and HSP (Headset Profile), set to HFP.

Notes

To be able to use the



the Bluetooth device to be connected requires the same profile as the unit’s. Note also that even if the same profile



exists, devices may vary in function depending on their specifications.

Due to the characteristic of

Pairing information is deleted after



repair, etc.

This unit is paired with 9 or more



devices. This unit can be paired with up to 8 devices; if a new device is paired after 8 devices have been paired, the device whose latest connection time is the oldest among the 8 paired devices is replaced by the new one.

When recognition of the unit by the



device to be connected is deleted.
