Supported codecs

A codec is an audio coding algorithm used when transmitting sound via a BLUETOOTH connection.

The headset supports the following 2 codecs for music playback via an A2DP connection: SBC and AAC.

SBC

This is an abbreviation for Subband Codec.

This is the standard audio coding technology used by BLUETOOTH devices.

All BLUETOOTH devices support SBC.

AAC

This is an abbreviation for Advanced Audio Coding.

AAC is mainly used by Apple products such as iPhones, and it provides higher sound quality than that of SBC.

When music in one of the above codecs is transmitted from a connected device, the headset switches to that codec automatically

and plays back the music in the same codec.

However, depending on the device to be connected with the headset, you may need to set the device beforehand to listen to

music in a different codec on the headset, even if the device supports a codec of higher sound quality than SBC.

Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the device regarding setting the codec.

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 and digital camera. BLUETOOTH wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 m(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 is an international standard supported by thousands of companies worldwide.

Communication system and compatible BLUETOOTH profiles of the unit

Profile is standardization of the function for each BLUETOOTH device specification. The unit supports the following BLUETOOTH

version and profiles:

Communication system:

BLUETOOTH Specification Ver. 4.1

Compatible BLUETOOTH profiles:

A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile): Transmitting or receiving audio content of high-quality.

AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile): Controlling A/V equipment; pausing, stopping, starting playback, etc.

HSP (Headset Profile)(*): Talking on the phone/Operating the phone.

HFP (Hands-free Profile)(*): Talking on the phone/Operating the phone by hands-free.

Maximum communication range

Use the devices within a range of about 10 m(30 feet) of line of sight.

Maximum communication range may shorten under the following conditions.

There is an obstacle such as a person, metal, or wall between this unit and the BLUETOOTH device.

A Wi-Fi device is in use near this unit.

A microwave oven is in use near this unit.

A device that generates electromagnetic radiation is in use near this unit.

Interference from other devices

Because BLUETOOTH uses 2.4 GHz, the same frequency as some Wi-Fi (IEEE802.11b/g/n), a Wi-Fi device used nearby may

cause interference: resulting in noise, an invalid connection, or deterioration of communication speed. In such a case, perform the

following.

Use this unit at least 10 m(30 feet) away from the Wi-Fi device.

If this unit is used within 10 m(30 feet) of a Wi-Fi device, turn off the Wi-Fi device.

Bring the headset and the BLUETOOTH device closer together.

Interference to other devices

When you use a BLUETOOTH mobile phone supported by both HFP (Hands-free Profile) and HSP (Headset Profile), set it to HFP.

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 gas station

near automatic doors or a fire alarm

Note

To be able to use the BLUETOOTH function, the BLUETOOTH device to be connected requires the same profile as this unit. 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.

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.

We do not take any responsibility for the leakage of information during BLUETOOTH communication.

A device featuring the 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.

Noise or sound skips may occur depending on the BLUETOOTH device connected with this unit, the communication environment or the usage

environment.
