What Is Bluetooth Wireless Technology; Specifications - Sony SRS-X99 Mode D'emploi

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 the system and
BLUETOOTH device.

A wireless LAN device is in use near the
system.

A microwave oven is in use near the
system.

A device that generates
electromagnetic radiation is in use near
the system.
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
the system is used near a wireless LAN
device. In such a case, perform the
following.

Use the system at least 10 m (about 30
ft) away from the wireless LAN device.

If the system 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
electronic medical devices. Turn off the
system 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 a gas station

near automatic doors or a fire alarm
 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 the system is
slightly delayed from the sound played on the
BLUETOOTH device during talking on the
telephone or listening to the music.
 This system 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.
 Noise or sound skips may occur depending on
the BLUETOOTH device connected with the
system, the communication environment or the
usage environment.
