Optimizing Bluetooth Performance
To optimize the performance of Bluetooth communication between
the 900 MHz Belt Clip Radio and its host computer, keep the
following points in mind.
• Bluetooth communication works best when the communicating
devices have a line-of-sight orientation—that is, when you have
an unobstructed view from one device to the other. When
possible, remove or reduce obstacles between the 900 MHz Belt
Clip Radio and its host computer during Bluetooth
communication.
• The BCR’s internal Bluetooth antenna emits its strongest signal
through the front of the device. Try to face the BCR toward the
computer during Bluetooth communication.
• The internal location of a computer’s Bluetooth device varies
between different computer models. Changing the host
computer’s orientation toward the BCR may improve Bluetooth
communication.
• Keep metal objects away from the BCR and its antenna during
Bluetooth communication. They can impede the Bluetooth signal
and hurt performance.
