Effective communication range
Bluetooth devices should be used within 
approximately 10 meters (unobstructed 
distance) of each other. The effective 
communication range may become 
shorter under the following conditions.
 When a person, metal object, wall 
or other obstruction is between the 
devices with a Bluetooth connection
 Locations where a wireless LAN is 
installed
 Around microwave ovens that are in 
use
 Locations where other electromagnetic 
waves occur
Effects of other devices
Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN 
(IEEE 802.11b/g) use the same frequency 
band (2.4 GHz). When using your 
Bluetooth device near a device with 
wireless LAN capability, electromagnetic 
interference may occur. This could result 
in lower data transfer rates, noise, or 
inability to connect. If this happens, try 
the following remedies:
 Try connecting this system and 
Bluetooth mobile phone or Bluetooth 
device when you are at least 10 
meters away from the wireless LAN 
equipment.
 Turn off the power to the wireless LAN 
equipment when using your Bluetooth 
device within 10 meters.
Effects on other devices
The radio waves broadcast by this system 
may interfere with the operation of some 
medical devices. Since this interference 
may result in malfunction, always turn 
off the power on this system, Bluetooth 
mobile phone and Bluetooth device in 
the following locations:
 In hospitals, on trains, in airplanes, 
at gas stations, and any place where 
flammable gasses may be present
 Near automatic doors or fire alarms
Notes
 This system supports security functions that 
comply with the Bluetooth specification 
as a means of ensuring security during 
communication using Bluetooth technology. 
However, this security may be insufficient 
depending on the setting contents and 
other factors, so always be careful when 
performing communication using Bluetooth 
technology.
 Sony cannot be held liable in any way 
for damages or other loss resulting from 
information leaks during communication 
using Bluetooth technology.
 Bluetooth communication is not necessarily 
guaranteed with all Bluetooth devices that 
have the same profile as this system.
 Bluetooth devices connected with this system 
must comply with the Bluetooth specification 
prescribed by the Bluetooth SIG, Inc., and 
must be certified to comply. However, even 
when a device complies with the Bluetooth 
specification, there may be cases where 
the characteristics or specifications of the 
Bluetooth device make it impossible to 
connect, or may result in different control 
methods, display or operation.
 Noise may occur or the audio may 
cut off depending on the Bluetooth 
device connected with this system, 
the communications environment, or 
surrounding conditions.
