BLUETOOTH MODE
Bluetooth connectivity performance may vary with brand and model of the connected device. For best
performance, please connect newer Bluetooth devices incorporating Bluetooth 2.1 and using the latest firmware
update available from the device vendor. Compatibility with all devices and media types is not guaranteed.
Bluetooth performance considerations
Ensure all Bluetooth devices within 30 feet have Bluetooth transmission disabled. The presence of other
functioning Bluetooth devices during connection may lead to operational difficulties.
Bluetooth is a short-range radio communication standard. The Bluetooth transmitter and receiver hardware in this
unit has an approximate operational range of 30 feet in open space. Generally Bluetooth devices can
communicate with each other clearly within a regular sized room or office. Operation between different rooms will
depend on the construction of the room. It is important to recognize the fact that Bluetooth communication range
may be substantially reduced if the signal passes through a solid object. Human bodies, brick and concrete walls,
and heavy furniture or bookcases will reduce the operational range of your Bluetooth devices. Glass, dry-wall or
wood paneled walls and office partitions may have a less severe but noticeable effect. You should position your
Bluetooth devices closer to each other if you observe communication difficulties.
