Notes on Using the BLUETOOTH Function
❑The data transfer rate varies, depending on the following conditions:
❑Obstacles, such as walls, located between devices
❑Distance between devices
❑Material used in walls
❑Proximity to microwaves and cordless telephones
❑Radio frequency interference and other environmental conditions
❑Device configuration
❑Type of software application
❑Type of operating system
❑Use of both wireless LAN and BLUETOOTH functions at the same time on your computer
❑Size of file being exchanged
❑Large files may occasionally be corrupted during continuous transfer due to limitations of the BLUETOOTH standard and 
electromagnetic interference in the environment.
❑All BLUETOOTH devices must be certified to make sure that the applicable standard requirements are maintained. Even 
if standards are met, individual device performance, specifications, and operation procedures can vary. Data exchange 
may not be possible in all situations.
❑Video and audio may not be synchronized if you play videos on your computer with audio output from a connected 
BLUETOOTH device. This is a frequent occurrence with BLUETOOTH technology and does not indicate a malfunction.
❑The 2.4 GHz band, with which BLUETOOTH devices or wireless LAN devices work, is used by various devices. Although 
BLUETOOTH devices use the technology to minimize radio interference from other devices that use the same band, such 
radio interference may cause slower communication speeds and shor ter distances or communication failures.

❑The BLUETOOTH function may not work with other devices, depending on the manufacturer or the software version 
employed by the manufacturer.
❑Connecting multiple BLUETOOTH devices to your computer may cause channel congestion, resulting in poor 
performance of the devices. This is normal with BLUETOOTH technology and does not indicate a malfunction.
❑High-speed communications between your computer and BLUETOOTH devices are available when they are compliant 
with BLUETOOTH Core Specification Version 3.0 + HS. For the high-speed communications, enable both the wireless 
LAN and BLUETOOTH functions on the computer.
See the specifications to find out about the configuration of your computer.
