About Bluetooth function
What is Bluetooth technology?
•Bluetooth wireless technology is a shortrange wireless technology that enables wireless data communication between digital devices, such as a cellular phone and a headset. Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 m (about 33 feet). Connecting two devices 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 since Bluetooth technology is a wireless technology, neither 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 technology is an international standard supported by millions of companies all over the world, and employed by various companies worldwide.
On Bluetooth communication
•Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 m.
Maximum communication range may vary depending on obstacles (person, metal, wall, etc.) or electromagnetic environment.
•The following conditions may affect the sensitivity of Bluetooth communication.
–There is an obstacle such as a person, metal, or wall between this unit and Bluetooth device.
