Electromagnetic Interference
The Bluetooth communication range may vary,
depending on the environment in which the device
operates. When you use a Bluetooth device, pay
attention to the following:
Bluetooth devices operate in the 2.4 GHz band.
The 2.4 GHz band is also used by other devices, such
as Wireless LAN products, microwave ovens, RFID
systems, amateur radio stations, and so on.
When using this device near such devices,
interference may occur, causing a decrease in
communication speed, and an unstable connection.
In such cases, use this device away from the other
devices, or stop using those devices.
The communication range of Bluetooth is
approximately 10 meters (33 feet).
