7. Introducing Bluetooth  

 

Bluetooth device compatibility
If a problem occurs with the connection between your 
Bluetooth device and Roger Pen, or if you are unsure 
about your device’s Bluetooth capabilities, please 
consult your device’s User Guide or ask its dealer.

Bluetooth operating range
Your Roger Pen supports Bluetooth Class 2 operation 
up to a range of 3 meters (10 ft).
Line-of-sight between your Roger Pen and your mobile 
phone is not required. However, the following factors 
may negatively affect the range achieved:

 

S

Interference with other devices in the environment may 
reduce the operating range.

 

S

The Bluetooth device with which you are connecting 
may only support a more limited range.

If your Bluetooth device moves out of range of your
Roger Pen and has an active audio connection, this
connection will start to be intermittently lost, and will 
finally be terminated.
