Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range wireless technology that enables wireless data communication between digital devices, such as a cellular phone and a headset. Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 m

(about 33 feet). Connecting two devices 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, neither 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 technology is an international standard supported by millions of companies all over the world, and employed by various companies worldwide. 58 XAV-601BT 4-419-667-11(1) G:\#sagyou\Sony\0117\4419667111\4419667111XAV601BTU\01GB_XAV601BT\01 G:\#sagyou\Sony\0117\4419667111\4419667111XAV601BTU\01GB_XAV601BT\01 US02CD-U.fm US02CD-U.fm masterpage:Right masterpage:Right 00US+00COV-U.book Page 59 Tuesday, January 17, 2012 6:08 PM On Bluetooth communication
