 Microwaves emitting from a BLUETOOTH device
may affect the operation of electronic medical
devices. Turn off this unit and other BLUETOOTH
devices in the following locations, as it may cause
an accident.
 where inflammable gas is present, in a hospital,
train, airplane, or petrol station
 near automatic doors or a fire alarm
 This unit supports security capabilities that
comply with the BLUETOOTH standard to provide
a secure connection when the BLUETOOTH
wireless technology is used, but security may not
be enough depending on the setting. Be careful
when communicating using BLUETOOTH wireless
technology.
 We do not take any responsibility for the leakage
of information during BLUETOOTH
communication.
