+***CAUTION:*** Bluetooth performance is dependent on what chipset your receiver uses, or chipset used by your computer (often integrated into the wireless card, especially if the computer is recent). While most chipsets work without major problems, others may not work right no matter what you try. This is commonplace on some 3rd party proprietary Bluetooth adapters (Ex: Broadcom). ***If you run into issues, get a “CSR 4.X” adapter, that is verified to support the CSR standard specifications.***
