Wireless communication characteristics
The communication range depends on any obstacles (i.e., human bodies, metal, walls)
between this product and the wireless connection device, and the condition of the radio
wave.
If there is an obstacle between this product and the wireless connection device,
the communication distance is shorter.
The following circumstances could affect the sensitivity of the wireless communication.
The sensitivity of the wireless communication improves by removing obstacles between
this product and the wireless connection devices.
Since the wireless LAN (IEEE802.11 b/g/n 2.4GHz) and Bluetooth equipped devices
use the same frequency band (2.4 GHz), radio wave interference could occur and
cause degradation of communication speed, noise and disconnection if a wireless LAN
device is used near a Bluetooth equipped device.
7-2. Connecting to the PC
- Obstacles such as human body, metal, wall, etc.
- In places where other wireless communication is established, near a microwave oven in
use, or other places with electromagnetic waves present.
