Notes
This Bluetooth transmitter is designed for
•
iPod only. You cannot connect any other
portable audio players.
Sony cannot accept responsibility in the
•
event that data recorded to iPod is lost or
damaged when using an iPod connected to
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.
