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.
