Read the Bluetooth™ Safety Flyer before using the Bluetooth™ functionality.
The 2.4 GHz band with which Bluetooth™ devices or wireless LAN devices work, is used by various devices. Bluetooth™ devices use the technology
to minimize the interference from other devices that use the same wave length. Communication speed and distances can be inferior to the standard
values. Interference from other devices may also stop communications.
The Bluetooth™ modem station (PCGA-BM1) software is available on your notebook’s hard drive. If you want to use the Bluetooth™ modem station,
read the Bluetooth™ modem station documentation.
!
The Bluetooth™ functions may not work depending on the devices or the software version used.

When you purchase Bluetooth™ devices, check their operating conditions.
