Operating notes

Bluetooth LE is used to connect with the transceiver, so there may be a time delay between the transceiver’s operation and the display on the iPhone or iPad.

• When the device’s screen is locked, or the RS-MS1I is in the Background mode, the Bluetooth connection may be canceled.
• When sending or receiving pictures using “FAST mode,” the headset audio will be temporarily interrupted because of the transceiver’s Bluetooth unit limitations.
• When connecting or disconnecting the transceiver and a Bluetooth Headset, the connection between the transceiver and this application may be disconnected. If Bluetooth disconnects, try to connect again from either the application or the transceiver.
  • We recommend disconnecting the Bluetooth Headset from the transceiver before operating this application.
• You may need to connect to the Internet through a Wireless LAN, a 3G network, or an LTE network for some functions.
• The RS-MS1I supports only portrait orientation with the iPhone. It does not support Auto Rotate. However, landscape orientation and Auto Rotate are supported with the iPad.

NOTE: Before using the RS-MS1I, set the following items on the transceiver.

• Set the “CI-V Transceive” item to “ON.”

  • ID-4100A/ID-4100E/ID-52A/ID-52E:
    Function > CI-V > CI-V Transceive

  • IC-705:
    Connectors > CI-V > CI-V Transceive

• Set the “Serial Port Function” item to “CI-V (Echo back OFF).” ( Bluetooth Set > Data Device Set > Serial Port Function)

About the licenses
libjpeg-turbo Licenses
libjpeg-turbo is covered by three compatible BSD-style open source licenses:

• The IJG (Independent JPEG Group) License, which is listed in README.ijg
  This license applies to the libjpeg API library and associated programs (any code inherited from libjpeg, and any modifications to that code.)

• The Modified (3-clause) BSD License , which is listed below
  This license covers the TurboJPEG API library and associated programs, as well as the build system.

• The zlib License
  This license is a subset of the other two, and it covers the libjpeg-turbo SIMD extensions.

Complying with the libjpeg-turbo Licenses
This section provides a roll-up of the libjpeg-turbo licensing terms, to the best of our understanding.

1. If you are distributing a modified version of the libjpeg-turbo source, then:
   i. You cannot alter or remove any existing copyright or license notices from the source.

   • Origin
     Clause 1 of the IJG License
     Clause 1 of the Modified BSD License
     Clauses 1 and 3 of the zlib License
     ii. You must add your own copyright notice to the header of each source file you modified, so others can tell that you modified that file (if there is not an existing copyright header in that file, then you can simply add a notice stating that you modified the file.)

   • Origin
     Clause 1 of the IJG License
     Clause 2 of the zlib License
     iii. You must include the IJG README file, and you must not alter any of the copyright or license text in that file.

   • Origin
     Clause 1 of the IJG License

2. If you are distributing only libjpeg-turbo binaries without the source, or if you are distributing an application that statically links with libjpeg-turbo, then:
   i. Your product documentation must include a message stating: This software is based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group.

   • Origin
     Clause 2 of the IJG license
     If your binary distribution includes or uses the TurboJPEG API, then your product documentation must include the text of the Modified BSD License (see below.)

   • Origin
     Clause 2 of the Modified BSD License

3. You cannot use the name of the IJG or The libjpeg-turbo Project or the contributors thereof in advertising, publicity, etc.
   Origin

   • IJG License
   • Clause 3 of the Modified BSD License

4. The IJG and The libjpeg-turbo Project do not warrant libjpeg-turbo to be free of defects, nor do we accept any liability for undesirable consequences resulting from your use of the software.
   Origin

   • IJG License
   • Modified BSD License
   • zlib License

THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND CONTRIBUTORS “AS IS”, AND ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE DISCLAIMED. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS OR CONTRIBUTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; LOSS OF USE, DATA, OR PROFITS; OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION)
HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF THIS SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

Why Three Licenses?
The zlib License could have been used instead of the Modified (3-clause) BSD License, and since the IJG License effectively subsumes the distribution conditions of the zlib License, this would have effectively placed libjpeg- turbo binary distributions under the IJG License.
However, the IJG License specifically refers to the Independent JPEG Group and does not extend attribution and endorsement protections to other entities. Thus, it was desirable to choose a license that granted us the same protections for new code that were granted to the IJG for code derived from their software.
