Additional information
The data transfer rate varies, depending on the following conditions:
Obstacles, such as walls, located between devices
Distance between devices
Material used in walls
Proximity to microwaves and cordless telephones
Radio frequency interference and other environmental conditions
Device configuration
Type of software application
Type of operating system
Use of both Wireless LAN and Bluetooth functions at the same time on the computer
Size of file being exchanged
The 2.4 GHz radio frequency used by Bluetooth
®
and wireless LAN devices is also used by other devices. Bluetooth
devices incorporate technology that minimizes interference from other devices using the same wavelength,
however, communication speed and connection range may be reduced. Interference from other devices may also
stop communication altogether.
Large files may occasionally become corrupted due to radio wave interference during continuous transfer.
All Bluetooth devices must be certified to make sure that the applicable standard requirements are maintained. Even
if standards are met, individual device performance, specifications, and operation procedures can vary. Data
exchange may not be possible in all situations.
To protect your privacy and conserve power, disconnect your Bluetooth and wireless connections when you are not
using them.
