CAUTION

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment.

NOTE:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

 Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This equipment must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.

SmartEyeglass (SED-E1) has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines.

This SmartEyeglass (SED-E1) has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with the Sony Corporation accessories supplied or designated for this product. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.

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 and digital camera. Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 m

(about 30 ft).

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.

Maximum communication range

Maximum communication range may shorten under the following conditions.



There is an obstacle such as a person, metal, or wall between this device and the

Bluetooth device.

 A wireless LAN device is in use near this device.

 A microwave oven is in use near the device.



A device that generates electromagnetic radiation is in use near this device.

Interference from other devices

Because Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b/g/n) use the same frequency, microwave interference may occur and resulting in communication speed deterioration, noise, or invalid connection if this device is used near a wireless LAN device. In such a case, perform the following.

 Use this device at least 10 m (about 30 ft) away from the wireless LAN device.

 If this device is used within 10 m (about 30 ft) of a wireless LAN device, turn off the wireless LAN device.

Interference to other devices

Microwaves emitting from a Bluetooth device may affect the operation of devices, such as electronic medical equipment. Turn off this device and other Bluetooth devices in the following locations, as it may cause an accident.

 in a hospital, train, airplane, or a gas station where inflammable gas is present

 near automatic doors or a fire alarm

Notes

 To be able to use the Bluetooth function, the Bluetooth device to be connected requires the same profile as the system’s.

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 device is slightly delayed from the sound played on the Bluetooth device during talking on the telephone or listening to the music.

 This device 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.

 A device featuring the Bluetooth function is required to conform to the Bluetooth standard specified by Bluetooth SIG, 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.

 Communication may be interrupted depending on the Bluetooth device connected with this device, the communication environment or the usage environment.
