For example, at predetermined time intervals, it is possible to transmit a test packet, receive a test response packet, and set a channel of the first communication mode based on the received test response packet. This makes it possible to create a radio channel environment in an optimal first communication mode.
Next, after channel setting of the first communication mode, data is exchanged with an external device or another external device through the set channel (S450). After the channel setting in the first communication mode, the
