WHAT IS BLUETOOTH?
Bluetooth is an industry specification that describes how Bluetooth-compliant
stereo headsets, mobile phones, and external devices can easily interconnect
with each other using a short wireless connection.
ƒ The Bluetooth device can cause a noise or malfunction, depending on the use
conditions.
ƒ Physical signal interference, for instance, if you hold the player in the hand and wear a
stereo headset in your ears, or if you hold the player in the one hand and take a mobile
phone in the other hand.
ƒ When a part of the body is in contact with the receiving/transmitting system of the
player or the stereo headset.
ƒ Electrical variation from electrical jamming by the wall, corner or office partitioning.
ƒ Electrical interference from the same frequency-band devices including medical
equipment, microwave oven and wireless LAN.
ƒ When pairing the Bluetooth device with the player, make it within as short distance
as possible.
ƒ The farther the distance between player and stereo headset is, the worse the
quality is. If the distance exceeds the limit, the communications are disconnected.

92 _ using bluetooth
WHAT IS BLUETOOTH? (Continued)
ƒ We do not recommend you use text and picture view modes while listening to
the music with the stereo headset or hands-free (mobile phone), or transferring
files as it can cause deterioration of both player performance and Bluetooth
communications.
ƒ Depending on the model of the stereo headset, files less than 32 KHz can not be
played.
ƒ In poor reception-sensitivity areas such as inside an elevator or underground,
the Bluetooth connection may not work properly.
ƒ The maximum distance that enables wireless connection between the player and
the bluetooth is 10m. The connection will be automatically cut off if the distance is
out of this range. Even within this range, the sound quality may be deteriorated by
obstacles such as walls or doors.

ƒ When not in use, set the <Bluetooth Mode> to <Off>. If you stay in <On> for
NOTE <Bluetooth Mode>, the battery usable time is reduced.
ƒ The Bluetooth features of the player are optimized with Samsung products. If used with
third party products, the Bluetooth features may not work properly.
