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 or digital camera. Bluetooth

wireless technology operates within a

range of about 10 metres.

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.

Communication System and

Compatible Bluetooth Profiles

of the unit

Profile is standardization of the

function for each Bluetooth device

specification. The unit supports the

following Bluetooth version and

profiles:

Communication System:

Bluetooth Specification version 2.1 + EDR*

1

Compatible Bluetooth Profiles:

– A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution

Profile): Transmitting or receiving audio

content of high-quality.

– AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control

Profile): Controlling A/V equipment;

pausing, stopping, or starting playback,

etc.

– HSP (Headset Profile)*

2

: Talking on the

phone/Operating the phone.

– HFP (Hands-free Profile)*

2

: Talking on

the phone/Operating the phone by

hands-free.

*

Enhanced Data Rate

*

2

When you use a Bluetooth mobile phone

supported by both HFP and HSP, set to

HFP.

Notes



To be able to use the

Bluetooth function,

the Bluetooth device to be connected

requires the same profile as the unit’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 unit is slightly delayed from the sound

played on the Bluetooth device during

talking on the telephone or listening to the

music.

If the earbuds do not fit your ears

correctly, low-bass sound may not be

heard. To enjoy better sound quality,

change the earbuds to another size, or

adjust the earbuds position to sit on

your ears comfortably and fit your ears

snugly. If the earbuds do not fit your

ears, try another size. Confirm the size

of the earbuds by checking the colour

inside. When you change the earbuds,

install them firmly on the headphones

to prevent the earbud from detaching

and remaining in your ear.
