Additional Information
Precautions
e sensitivity of the Bluetooth
communication will improve by
turning the direction of the built-in
aerial to the connected Bluetooth
device.
e communication distance shortens

aerial of the connected device and this
product.
On Bluetooth communication
Bluetooth wireless technology operates
within a range of about 10 meters
(about 30 feet).
Maximum communication range
may vary depending on obstacles
(human body, metal, wall, etc.) or
electromagnetic environment.
e following conditions may cause
noise, sound break or playback speed
change.

– When using inside the metal bag.
– When using inside the backpack or
shoulder bag.
– A device using 2.4 GHz frequency,
such as a wireless LAN device,
cordless telephone, or microwave
oven, is in use near this product.
Because Bluetooth devices and
wireless LAN (IEEE802.11 b/g) use
the same frequency, microwave
interference may occur and resulting
in communication speed deterioration,
noise, or invalid connection if this
product is used near a wireless LAN
device. In such a case, perform the
following.
