Radio wave reections

The radio waves received by this unit include

the radio wave coming directly from the device

equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology

(direct wave) and waves coming from various

directions due to reflections by walls, furniture

and building (reflected waves). The reflected

waves (due to obstacles and reflecting objects)

further produce a variety of reflected waves

as well as variation in reception condition

depending on locations. If the audio cannot

be received properly due to this phenomenon,

try moving the location of the device equipped

with Bluetooth wireless technology a little.

Also note that audio may be interrupted due to

the reflected waves when a person crosses or

approaches the space between this unit and

the device equipped with Bluetooth wireless

technology.
