devices incorporate technology that minimizes interference from other devices using the same wavelength,
however, communication speed and connection range may be reduced. Interference from other devices may also
stop communication altogether.
 Large files may occasionally become corrupted due to radio wave interference during continuous transfer.

All Bluetooth devices must be certified to make sure that the applicable standard requirements are maintained. Even
if standards are met, individual device performance, specifications, and operation procedures can vary. Data
exchange may not be possible in all situations.
