European countries with separate collection systems) 
This symbol on the product, the battery or on the packaging indicates 
that the product and the battery shall not be treated as household 
waste. On certain batteries this symbol might be used in combination 
with a chemical symbol. The chemical symbols for mercury (Hg) or 
lead (Pb) are added if the battery contains more than 0.0005% mercury or 0.004% 
lead. By ensuring these products and batteries are disposed of correctly, you will 
help prevent potentially negative consequences for the environment and human 
health which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling. The 
recycling of the materials will help to conserve natural resources. 
In case of products that for safety, performance or data integrity reasons require a 
permanent connection with an incorporated battery, this battery should be 
replaced by qualified service staff only. To ensure that the battery and the electrical 
and electronic equipment will be treated properly, hand over these products at

What is BLUETOOTH® wireless 
technology?
BLUETOOTH wireless technology is a short-range wireless technology that enables 
wireless data communication between digital devices.
Connecting two devices is common, but some devices can be connected to 
multiple devices at the same time.
You do not need to use a cable for connection, nor is it necessary for the devices to 
face one another. For example, a device can communicate via BLUETOOTH even 
when it is in a bag or pocket.
Maximum communication range
BLUETOOTH wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 m (about 
33 ft). Maximum communication range may shorten under the following conditions.
 
– There is an obstacle such as a person, metal, or wall between the devices that 
are communicating.
 
– A wireless LAN device is in use near the system.
 
– A microwave oven is in use near the system.
 
– A device that generates electromagnetic radiation is in use near the system.
Interference from other devices
Because BLUETOOTH devices and wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b/g/n) use the same 
frequency, microwave interference may occur and result in communication speed 
deterioration, noise, or invalid connection if the system is used near a wireless LAN 
device. In such a case, perform the following.
 
– Use the system at least 10 m (about 33 ft) away from the wireless LAN device.
 
– If the system is used within 10 m (about 33 ft) of a wireless LAN device, turn 
off the wireless LAN device.
Interference to other devices
Microwaves emitting from a BLUETOOTH device may affect the operation of 
electronic medical devices. Turn off the system and other BLUETOOTH devices in 
the following locations, as it may cause an accident.
 
– where inflammable gas is present, in a hospital, train, airplane, or gas station
 
– near automatic doors or fire alarms
Notes
• To be able to use the BLUETOOTH function, the BLUETOOTH device to be 
connected requires the same profile as the system’s. 
Note also that even if the same profile exists, devices may vary in function 
depending on their specifications.
• This system supports security capabilities that comply with the BLUETOOTH 
standard to provide a secure connection when the BLUETOOTH wireless 
technology is used, but security may not be enough depending on the setting. Be 
careful when communicating using BLUETOOTH wireless technology.
• We do not take any responsibility for the leakage of information during 
BLUETOOTH communication.
• A device featuring the BLUETOOTH function is required to conform to the 
BLUETOOTH standard specified by Bluetooth SIG, and be authenticated. Even if 
the connected device conforms to the above mentioned BLUETOOTH standard, 
some devices may not be connected or work correctly, depending on the features 
or specifications of the device.
The Bluetooth® word mark and logos are registered trademarks owned by 
Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and any use of such marks by Sony Corporation is under license.
