Bluetooth
• Bluetooth is a technology for wireless communication between devices within an area of about
10 meters (33 ft) employing the 2.4 GHz frequency band, a band which can be used without a
license.
Handling Bluetooth communications
• The 2.4 GHz band used by Bluetooth compatible devices is a radio band shared by many types
of equipment. While Bluetooth compatible devices use a technology minimizing the influence
of other components using the same radio band, such influence may reduce the speed or
distance of communications and in some cases interrupt communications.
• The speed of signal transfer and the distance at which communication is possible differs
according to the distance between the communicating devices, the presence of obstacles,
radio wave conditions and the type of equipment.
• Yamaha does not guarantee all wireless connections between this unit and devices
compatible with Bluetooth function.
