Using the headset

About Bluetooth Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that uses a frequency of 2.4 GHz to connect to various devices over short distances. It can connect and exchange data with Bluetooth devices, such as mobile devices, computers, printers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and other digital home appliances, without connecting via cables.

Bluetooth profiles The Bluetooth profile sets the available features and communication requirements for Bluetooth devices. Below are the types of Bluetooth profiles for the headset.

Headset Profile (HSP): Allows basic communication between a headset and connected mobile device, including receiving/ending calls and adjusting volume.

Hands-Free Profile (HFP): Allows extra communication between a headset and connected mobile device, including last number redial, call waiting or voice dialing.

Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP): Allows music streaming from a connected Bluetooth device to a headset.

Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP): Allows remote control of playback functions for a connected Bluetooth device from a headset.

Available functions may vary depending on the profile. For supported Bluetooth profiles, see Specifications.

Optimal usage conditions To ensure you get the best performance from the headset:

Do not block or create a barrier between the devices. Human body can interfere with the Bluetooth signal.

Do not touch the transmitting/receiving part of the connected device.

When pairing the headset with other devices, place the devices close together. Depending on the user environment, noise problem or malfunction might occur.

Bluetooth uses the same frequency as low power devices, such as industrial, scientific, medical devices, electronic devices or wireless LANs. Move the headset away from these devices, as they may interfere with each other.

To improve range, use the headset in places without intervening obstacles. Obstacles such as walls, corners or furniture weaken the signal.

When calling through the headset, sound quality might drop, as the distance from the connected mobile device increases. If two devices are too far from each other, the connection is lost and the call is transferred to the mobile device.

Conversation might be interrupted when calling in a loud environment, such as outside or where there is a lot of background noise.

Some devices, especially those that are not tested or approved by Bluetooth SIG, may not be compatible with the headset.
