6  OPERATION OF THE TOOL'S RADIO DEVICES

Wireless connection with Bluetooth, WiFi and HSUPA technology

Wireless connectivity through Bluetooth, WiFi and HSUPA is a technology
that supplies a standard, reliable method for exchanging information
between different devices using radio waves. Many other products besides
those built by TEXA use this technology, such as mobile phones, portable
devices, Computers, printers, cameras, Pocket PCs etc.

The Bluetooth, WiFi and HSUPA interfaces search for compatible
electronic devices based on the radio signals they emit and establish a
connection. TEXA tools only select and prompt compatible TEXA devices.
This does not exclude the presence of other sources of communication or
disturbance.

THE EFFICIENCY AND QUALITY OF BLUETOOTH, WiFi AND HSUPA
COMMUNICATION MAY BE AFFECTED BY THE PRESENCE OF RADIO
DISTURBANCE. THE COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL IS DESIGNED TO
MANAGE THESE TYPES OF ERRORS; HOWEVER, IN SUCH CASES
COMMUNICATION MAY BE DIFFICULT AND CONNECTION MAY
REQUIRE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS.

SHOULD THE WIRELESS CONNECTION ENCOUNTER SERIOUS
PROBLEMS AND COMPROMISE REGULAR COMMUNICATION, THE
SOURCE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL ELECTROMAGNETIC
DISTURBANCE MUST BE IDENTIFIED AND ITS INTENSITY REDUCED.

Position the tool so that the radio devices it is equipped with can work
properly. In particular, do not cover it with any shielding or metallic materials
in general.
