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, or starting playback,
etc.
– HSP (Headset Profile)*
phone/Operating the phone.
– HFP (Hands-free Profile)*2: Talking on
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
wireless technology, the sound played on
this unit is slightly delayed from the sound
played on the Bluetooth device during
talking on the telephone or listening to the
music.
