HFP (Hands-free Profile)*2: Talking on
the phone/Operating the phone by
hands-free.
Bluetooth® wireless technology is a
short-range wireless technology that
enables wireless data communication
between digital devices, such as a
computer or digital camera. Bluetooth
wireless technology operates within a
range of about 10 metres.
Connecting two devices as necessary is
common, but some devices can be
connected to multiple devices at the
same time.

When you use a Bluetooth mobile phone
supported by both HFP (Hands-free
Profile) and HSP (Headset Profile), set to
HFP.
Notes
To be able to use the Bluetooth function,
the Bluetooth device to be connected
requires the same profile as the unit’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
this unit is slightly delayed from the sound
played on the Bluetooth device during
talking on the telephone or listening to the
music.
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.
Communication System and

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Precautions
On Bluetooth communication
–
–
If this unit is used within 10 m of a
wireless LAN device, turn off the
wireless LAN device.
Bluetooth wireless technology operates
within a range of about 10 metres.
Maximum communication range may vary
depending on obstacles (human body,
metal, wall, etc.) or electromagnetic
environment.
The aerial is built into the unit as
illustrated in the dotted line. The
sensitivity of the Bluetooth communication
will improve by turning the direction of
the built-in aerial to the connected
Bluetooth device.
The communication distance shortens
when the obstacles are between the aerial
of the connected device and this unit.
Install this unit and Bluetooth device as
near to each other as possible.
Microwaves emitting from a Bluetooth
device may affect the operation of
electronic medical devices. Turn off this
unit 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 petrol
station
–
near automatic doors or a fire alarm
This unit 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.
Location of
built-in aerial
We do not take any responsibility for the
leakage of information during Bluetooth
communication.
Connection with all Bluetooth devices
cannot be guaranteed.
–
The following conditions may affect the
sensitivity of Bluetooth communication.
A device featuring Bluetooth function is
required to conform to the Bluetooth
standard specified by Bluetooth SIG,
Inc. 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.
While talking on the phone hands free,
noise may occur, depending on the
device or communication environment.
–
There is an obstacle such as a human
body, metal, or wall between this unit
and Bluetooth device.
A device using 2.4 GHz frequency, such
as a wireless LAN device, cordless
telephone, or microwave oven, is in use
near this unit.
–
–
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 this unit is used near a
wireless LAN device. In such as case,
perform the following.
–
Depending on the device to be connected,
it may require some time to start
communication.
–
Use this unit at least 10 m away from
the wireless LAN device.
