It was incorrectly stated that there can not be any obsticals between your computer and your BrailleNote if you wish bluetooth to work. this is simply not true. The signal will reach farther if there are no obsticles, but walls are rarely a problem ... at least not here in the U.S. LOL I guess we have flimsy walls and doors. You can think of the bluetooth signal in somewhat the same way as you think of sound. You can certainly hear things through walls and doors, but the more that gets in the way the less well you can hear. At some point either from distance or because of intervening obsticles you can no longer hear well enough to do you much good. In the same way, a bluetooth device can only get the signal for about 30 feet and that may be reduced by obsticles. In the case of bluetooth metal objects are the worst bariers.
I often forget that my cell phone is on in my purse in the entry way when I try to use bluetooth on my braille note from my bedroom. Suddenly I hear a little jabbering voice that I can't really understand coming from my purse. It is my phone waking up because it noticed my BN or computer looking for bluetooth devices. I don't honestly know the distance between my devices, but there are certainly walls in the way.
