On the BLUETOOTH wireless technology
BLUETOOTH wireless technology is a short-range wireless technology that enables wireless data communication between digital devices such as a computer and digital camera.
BLUETOOTH wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 meters. Connecting 2 devices as necessary is common, but some devices can be connected to multiple devices at the same time.
When using wireless technology, you do not need cables to get connected as you do with a USB connection, and you do not need to place the devices face to face as you do with wireless infrared technology. For example, you can use one of your devices in a bag or pocket.
BLUETOOTH specification is a global standard supported by thousands of companies, and employed by various manufactures for their products worldwide.
15
GB

– When a person, metal object, wall or other obstruction is between the devices with a BLUETOOTH connection
– Locations where a wireless LAN is installed
– Around microwave ovens that are in use
– Locations where other electromagnetic waves occur
Effects of other devices
BLUETOOTH devices and wireless
LAN (IEEE802.11b/g/n) use the same frequency band (2.4 GHz). When using your Bluetooth device near a device with wireless LAN capability, electromagnetic interference may occur.
This could result in lower data transfer rates, noise, or inability to connect. If this happens, try the following remedies:
– Connect the unit and a BLUETOOTH device at least 10 m away from other wireless LAN devices.
– Turn off the power to the wireless LAN equipment when using your
BLUETOOTH device within 10 meters.
Effects on other devices
The radio waves from the unit may interfere with the operation of some devices. Since this interference may result in malfunction, always turn off the power on the unit and the BLUETOOTH device in the following locations:
– In hospitals, on trains, in airplanes, at gas stations, and any place where flammable gasses may be present
– Near automatic doors or fire alarms
Notes
• The unit supports security functions that comply with the BLUETOOTH specification to ensure secure connection during communication using
BLUETOOTH wireless technology. However, this security may be insufficient depending on the setting content and other factors, so always be careful during communication using
BLUETOOTH technology.
16
GB
• Sony cannot be held liable in any way for damages or other loss resulting from information leaks during communication using
BLUETOOTH technology.
• BLUETOOTH devices connected to the unit must comply with the BLUETOOTH specification prescribed by the Bluetooth SIG,
Inc., and must be certified to comply. However, even when a device complies with the
