TMR-BT8iP [GB,FR,DE,ES] 3-279-360-12(1) What is Bluetooth wireless technology? 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 meters (about 30 feet). 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. Communication System and Compatible Bluetooth Prole of this unit Prole is standardization of the function for each Bluetooth device specication. is unit supports the following Bluetooth version and proles: Communication System: Bluetooth Specication version 2.0 + EDR* Compatible Bluetooth Prole:

To be able to use the Bluetooth function, the Bluetooth device to be connected requires the same prole as the unit’s. Note also that even if the same prole exists, devices may vary in function depending on their specications. Due to the characteristic of Bluetooth wireless technology the sound transmitted from this unit is slightly delayed during listening to the music.TMR-BT8iP [GB,FR,DE,ES] 3-279-360-12(1) TMR-BT8iP [GB,FR,DE,ES] 3-279-360-12(1)
