Important information on Bluetooth

Bluetooth provides a radio link on the free 2.4 GHz ISM
band (ISM: Industrial, Scientific, Medical). This frequen-
cy range is not subject to state legislation and can be
used in most countries without a licence. Consequently
a large number of applications and devices employ this
frequency band for transmission. This can result in fre-
quency interference.
Depending on ambient conditions, the Bluetooth link
may therefore deteriorate, e.g. in the case of WLAN
links (WLAN: Wireless Local Area Network), cordless
telephones, radio-controlled thermometers, radio-
controlled garage door openers, radio-controlled light
switches or radio-controlled alarm systems.
i
Bluetooth can cause bandwidth collapse in the
WLAN network. The antennas of Bluetooth and
WLAN devices should be at least 30 centimeters
apart. Bluetooth USB adapters and WLAN sticks
are not to be plugged into adjacent PC/Laptop USB
slots. Use the USB extension cable (special acces-
sory) to maintain a distance between the Bluetooth
USB adapter and the WLAN stick at the PC/Laptop.
i
Extreme caution is to be taken if wearing pacemak-
ers or other vital electronic devices when using radio
systems, as proper functioning of these items could
be impaired.
Pay attention to the following to ensure the best pos-
sible connection:
1. The Bluetooth radio signal always tries to find the
most direct path. When setting up the PC/Laptop
with Bluetooth USB adapter make sure there are
as few obstacles as possible (e.g. steel doors and
concrete walls) which could interfere with the radio
signal from and to the BEA 060.
2. In the event of problems with the Bluetooth link, the
USB link can be activated and used instead of the
Bluetooth connection.
3. It is not possible to operate any other Bluetooth
hardware fitted in or plugged into the PC/Laptop.
