• Sony VAIO personal computers equipped with Bluetooth technology and  
pre-installed with Windows XP (after SP2) or Windows Vista (after SP1).  
Bluetooth communications  
• The 2.4 GHz band used by Bluetooth and wireless LAN devices is also  
used by various other devices. Bluetooth devices incorporate technology  
that minimizes interference from other devices using the same  
wavelength. However, communication speed and achievable distances  
may be reduced. Interference from other devices can also stop  
communications altogether.  
• The data transfer rate will vary depending on distance and obstacles  
between devices, device configuration, radio interference, operating  
system, software application, and so on. In some cases, communication  
may be interrupted.  
• Communication range will vary according to whether walls or other  
obstacles are located between devices, the material used in walls, the  
presence of radio frequency interference and other environmental  
conditions, and the type of software being used.  
• If wireless LAN and Bluetooth functionality are used at the same time on  
the same personal computer, communication speed may be reduced due  
to electromagnetic interference, and other unwanted effects may occur.  
* Bluetooth technology  
Bluetooth wireless technology provides instant short-range connectivity  
without the need for cumbersome cabling. For details, refer to the  
manuals included with your personal computer.  
The personal computer does not return from Standby mode.
