This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject 

to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful 

interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, 

including interference that may cause undesired operation.

NOTE:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a 

Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits 

are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference 

in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate 

radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with 

the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. 

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a 

particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to 

radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the 

equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the 

interference by one or more of the following measures:

–  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

–  Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

–  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to 

which the receiver is connected.

–  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
The following FCC statement applies only to the version of this model 

manufactured for sale in the USA. Other versions may not comply with 

FCC technical regulations.
This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth 

for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) 

Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC 

radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very low levels of 

RF energy that are deemed to comply without testing of specific absorption 

ratio (SAR).
This equipment must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any 

other antenna or transmitter.
This Class B digital device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and 

Canadian ICES-003. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 

(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must 

accept any interference received, including interference that may cause 

undesired operation.

What is Bluetooth wireless 

Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range wireless technology that 

enables wireless data communication between digital devices, such as a 

computer and digital camera. Bluetooth wireless technology operates within 

a range of about 10 m (about 30 ft).

Connecting two devices as necessary 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, such is the case with infrared technology. For 

example, you can use such a device in a bag or pocket.

Bluetooth standard is an international standard supported by thousands of 

companies all over the world, and employed by various companies 

worldwide.

Maximum communication range may shorten under the following 

conditions.

–  There is an obstacle such as a person, metal, or wall between the 

system and Bluetooth device.

–  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.

Because Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b/g) use the same 

frequency, microwave interference may occur and resulting 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 30 ft) away from the wireless LAN 

device.

–  If the system is used within 10 m (about 30 ft) of a wireless LAN 

device, turn off the wireless LAN device.

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 a gas 

station

–  near automatic doors or a fire alarm



  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.



  Due to the characteristic of 

Bluetooth wireless technology, the sound 

played on the system is slightly delayed from the sound played on the 

Bluetooth device during talking on the telephone or listening to the 

music.



  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.



  Noise or sound skips may occur depending on the 

Bluetooth device 

connected with the system, the communication environment or the 

usage environment.
