What is Bluetooth technology?
Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range wireless technology that enables wireless data communication between digital devices, such as a mobile phone or digital music player. Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a range of about 10m
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 since Bluetooth technology is a wireless technology, nor is it necessary for the devices to face one another, such as the case with infrared technology. For example, you can use such a device in a bag or pocket. Bluetooth wireless technology is a global standard supported by thousands of companies. These companies produce products that meet the global standard.
- This unit cannot be connected to multiple devices at the same time.
