Wireless communication with BLUETOOTH
With your Pocket PC with an integrated BLUETOOTH™ module you can communicate wirelessly
with other BLUETOOTH devices, e.g. with another Pocket PC, a notebook or a mobile phone.
This Pocket PC with integrated BLUETOOTH is a Power Class 1 device, i.e. it has a maximum
range of 100 meters. The range of the communication paths is shortened depending on the user
environment (e.g. walls or furniture), building structure and output power class of the partner.
BLUETOOTH supports many functions (

), e.g. wireless printing of documents, accessing the
Internet and transmitting or receiving data or e-mails.

Safety precautions when using BLUETOOTH
Switch off BLUETOOTH when you are in a hospital or near a medical electronics system, as the
radio waves transmitted by the radio component may impair the operation of the medical devices.
Do not bring the Pocket LOOX 600 into an operating room with the radio component switched on, as
the radio waves transmitted by BLUETOOTH may impair the operation of medical electronic
systems used there.
Keep Pocket LOOX 600 at least 20 cm from a pacemaker with the radio components switched on,
as otherwise the proper functioning of the pacemaker can be interfered with by the radio waves.
The radio waves transmitted by the radio component can cause an unpleasant humming in hearing
aids.
Switch off BLUETOOTH when you are in an aircraft or driving in a car.
Do not bring the Pocket LOOX 600 near flammable gases or into potentially explosive atmospheres
with the radio component switched on (e.g. petrol station), as the radio waves transmitted can cause
an explosion or a fire.
Selecting location for BLUETOOTH operation
·
We recommend that you use the Pocket PC with the BLUETOOTH components in a typical
operating environment. Other BLUETOOTH devices, which you want to communicate with,
should be located at a distance of up to 30 m.
·
Only install a partner device within the recommended distance. Observe the output power class
of the partner device when doing so. Details are contained in the operating manual of the
partner device.
·
Use the Pocket PC with the BLUETOOTH at least 2 m away from other electrical or electronic
systems. If you must use the Pocket PC near a microwave cooker, then maintain a distance of
at least 3 m from the microwave cooker, as the reception is subject to interference with regard
to microwaves.
·
Should problems result when communicating via BLUETOOTH because radios or radio
devices are located in the vicinity, then move the Pocket PC to a different location.
