What is Bluet ooth wir eless
technology?
Bluetooth wir eless te chnology is a short-range
wireles s technology that enables wireles s data
communica tion between digital devic es, such as
a computer and digit al camera. Blue tooth
wireles s technology opera tes within a range of
about 10 m.
Connecting two devic es as neces sary is common,
but some devices can be c onnected t o multiple
devices at the same time .
Y ou do not need to use a cable for c onnection,
nor is it neces sary for the devices to fac e one
another , such is the c ase with infrare d
technology . For example, you c an use such a
device in a bag or pock et.
Bluetooth st andard is an international st andard
supported by thousands of companies all over
the world, and employed by v arious companies
worldwide.
Communic ation system and c ompatible
Bluetoo th profiles of the unit
Pr ofile is standardization of the function f or each
Bluetooth devic e specification. T he unit supports
the following Bluet ooth version and profiles:
Communic ation System:
Bluetooth Spe cification version 3. 0
Compatible Blue tooth Pr ofiles:
A2DP (Advance d Audio Distribution Profile):
T r ansmitting or rec eiving audio content of
high-quality .
A VRCP (Audio Video Remot e Control P rofile):
Contr olling A/V equipment; pausing,
stopping, or starting playback, et c.
Maximum communic ation r ange
Use Bluetooth devic es within 10 m (line of sight)
of the unit.
Maximum communica tion range may shorten
under the following conditions.
T her e is an obstacle such as a person, metal, or

Interfer ence fr om other devic es
Because Bluet ooth devices and wir eless LAN
(IEEE802. 11b/g/n) use the same fr equency ,
microw ave interferenc e may occur and resulting
