Precautions when using Wi-Fi
®
devices
Pay special attention to the following information when connecting to a Wi-Fi
®
network or using a Wi-Fi
®
service from a smartphone that supports tethering.
■ Users with pacemakers or other electrical medical devices
Observe the following precautions with regard to radio waves during Wi-Fi
®
communication.
WARNING
● Use Wi-Fi
®
devices only when safe and legal to do so.
● The vehicle antenna for Wi-Fi
®
communication is built into the multimedia system.
● People with implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-
pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators should maintain a reasonable
distance between themselves and the Wi-Fi
®
antennas.
The radio waves may affect the operation of such devices.
● Before using Wi-Fi
®
devices, users of any electrical medical device other than
implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers or
implantable cardioverter defibrillators should consult the manufacturer of the device
for information about its operation under the influence of radio waves.
Radio waves could have unexpected effects on the operation of such medical devices.
■ Using Wi-Fi
®
and Bluetooth
®
simultaneously
Wi-Fi
®
is a best-effort function that performs wireless communication with the 2.4
GHz band frequency. Simultaneous use of Bluetooth
®
using the same 2.4 GHz
band wireless communication as Wi-Fi
®
could cause mutual interference.
■ Things to know about Wi-Fi
®
INFORMATION
● This is a best-effort function.
● Use this function when connecting to a portable device. Connections to devices other
than portable devices may be disconnected, depending on the environment.
● Leaving the Wi-Fi
®
area will disconnect communication.
● If the vehicle is near a radio antenna, radio station or other source of strong radio
waves and electrical noise, communication may be slow or impossible.
