Notes on use

Wireless communications



The 2.4 GHz band used by Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN devices is also used by

various other devices. Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN devices use the technology

to minimize the interference from other devices that use the same wave length.

Simultaneous use of the Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN devices, however, may

cause radio interference and result in reduced communication speeds and distance

than the standard values.



The data transfer rate will vary depending on distance and obstacles between devices,

device configuration, radio interference, operating system, software application, and so

on. In some cases, communication may be interrupted.



Communication range will vary according to whether walls or other obstacles are

located between devices, the material used in walls, the presence of radio frequency

interference and other environmental conditions, and the type of software being used.



If Bluetooth functionality and wireless LAN functionality are used at the same time on

the same personal computer, communication speed may be reduced due to

electromagnetic interference, and other unwanted effects may occur.

Maintenance

When you clean the keyboard, make sure to remove the batteries.

Clean the outside of the keyboard with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive

pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

Troubleshooting

If you are not able to locate a solution in this section, contact Sony Tablet Support. Also

refer to the manuals provided with your Tablet Device.

The CONNECT button was pressed, but communication has not been

established.



Check whether batteries are inserted in the keyboard. For details, see “Inserting

batteries into the keyboard.”



If the power switch on the keyboard is set to OFF, communication with the Tablet

Device is not possible. Check the setting of the switch on the keyboard.



If the power does not come on when the power switch of the keyboard is set to ON, the

batteries may be depleted. Replace the batteries. For details, see “Inserting batteries into

the keyboard.”



Communication between the keyboard and Tablet Device may not have been properly

established. If the CONNECT button on the keyboard is not pressed within 30 seconds

after the beginning of the search for the Bluetooth device by the personal computer, the

keyboard will not be recognized. In such a case, perform the procedure again to enable

communication. For details, see “Enabling communication between the keyboard and

your Tablet Device.”



If the keyboard is too far from the Tablet Device, communication will not be possible.

The maximum distance allowed between the keyboard and the Tablet Device is about

10 m (32 ft.). If used on a metal table, or if there are obstacles between the keyboard

and the Tablet Device, the usable distance may be shorter.



Make sure that the Bluetooth function of your Tablet Device is enabled.

The keyboard does not work.



Check the distance between the keyboard and the Tablet Device. Place the keyboard

and Tablet Device within the communication range given in the specifications. If used

on a metal table, or if there are metal objects near the keyboard, the usable distance

may be shorter.



The keyboard and the Tablet Device may not recognize each other.

Insert the batteries into the keyboard properly, and try to connect it to the Tablet

Device again. Make sure that the keyboard is close to the Tablet Device (within 30 cm

(11.9 in.)) when you press the CONNECT button.
