More info?)
It should do as it seems to be set to scan for all devices every couple of
minutes. I had problems with the Microsoft hub not wanting to connect to my
Sony Mobile.
On the Logitech web site it says "long range"? Usually they are around 9
feet i think and i dont think it has to be line of site - you would get a
better answer if you put a post on their forum.
Hope this helps,
Simon.
