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 or digital camera. Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 meters (about 30 feet). Connecting two devices as necessary is common, but some devices can be connected to multiple devices at the same time.
Features This product is an audio kit comprising of a transmitter and headset using Bluetooth wireless technology. You can enjoy music wirelessly by transmitting the audio signals to a headset by connecting the Bluetooth transmitter to iPod (see page 3 for compatible iPod models) with the iPod connector* (30 pin). * iPod connector is a dedicated multiple connector for connecting accessories to your iPod.
