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.
HSP (Headset Profile)*2: Talking on the 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 Bluetooth function, the Bluetooth device to be connected requires the same profile as the units. Note also that even if the same profile exists, devices may vary in function depending on their specifications. Due to the characteristic of Bluetooth 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.
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:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Precautions
On Bluetooth communication Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 meters (about 30 feet). Maximum communication range may vary depending on obstacles (human body, metal, wall, etc.) or electromagnetic environment. The antenna is built into the unit as illustrated in the dotted line. The sensitivity of the Bluetooth communication will improve by turning the direction of the built-in antenna to the connected Bluetooth device. The communication distance shortens when the obstacles are between the antenna of the connected device and this unit. Use this unit at least 10 m (about 30 ft) away from the wireless LAN device. If this unit is used within 10 m (about 30 ft) of a wireless LAN device, turn off the wireless LAN device. Install this unit and Bluetooth device as near to each other as possible. Microwaves emitting from a Bluetooth device may affect the operation of electronic medical devices.

Be careful when communicating using Bluetooth wireless technology. We do not take any responsibility for the leakage of information during Bluetooth communication. Connection with all Bluetooth devices cannot be guaranteed. A device featuring Bluetooth function is required to conform to the Bluetooth standard specified by Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and be authenticated. Even if the connected device conforms to the above mentioned Bluetooth standard, some devices may not be connected or work correctly, depending on the features or specifications of the device. While talking on the phone hands free, noise may occur, depending on the device or communication environment. Depending on the device to be connected, it may require some time to start communication.
