) has the advantage that 

it can be freely connected anywhere within the 
radio wave range, as it uses radio waves for 
exchanging information. At the same time, there 
is a risk that a malicious third party may obtain 
unauthorized access if security settings have 
not been configured. You are recommended to 
configure security settings before using wireless 
LAN (Wi-Fi

/wireless LAN (Wi-Fi

®

) communication.

 

◎ Since Bluetooth

®

 and wireless LAN (Wi-Fi

®

functions use the same frequency band, using 
the both functions at the same may cause 
radio wave interference resulting in decreased 
communication speed or disconnection from the 
network. If connection fails, stop using either 
of the Bluetooth

/ XX8

•  Bluetooth

®

 function: 2.4FH1/XX8

The product uses the 2.4 GHz band. For FH1, 
FH-SS is used as the modulation scheme. The

uses other schemes and interference distance is 
about 80 m or less.

•  Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi

®

) function: 2.4DS/OF4

The product uses the 2.4 GHz band. DS-SS and 
OFDM are used as the modulation schemes. The
