Precautions

Notes on the Bluetooth function

 

ˎ

Bluetooth wireless technology allows connection at a distance of up 
to about 10 m. However, the effective range may vary depending on 
obstructions (people, metals, walls, etc.) or signal status.

 

ˎ

Because Bluetooth and wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b/g) devices use the 
same frequency (2.4 GHz), signal interference may occur, resulting 
in communication speed decrease, noise, or inability to connect, if 
Bluetooth communications are used near a wireless LAN device. In 
such cases, take the following measures.

 

– Perform Bluetooth communications at least 10 m away from the wireless LAN 

device when connecting your Walkman and a Bluetooth device.

 

– Place your Walkman and the Bluetooth device as close together as possible.

 

– Turn off the wireless LAN device when performing Bluetooth communications 

within about 10 m of a wireless LAN device.

 

ˎ

Radio waves emitted from a Bluetooth device may affect the 
operation of equipment such as electronic medical devices. Turn off 
your Walkman and other Bluetooth devices in the following locations 
as failure to do so may cause an accident.

 

– In hospitals, near priority seats on trains, in airplanes, in places such as 

gasoline stations where flammable gases are present, near automatic doors 
or fire alarms
