Please see the support section at www.blueantwireless.com for information and downlo ads
for available upgrades.
Further Information
Setting up a Phone Profile (different to Bluetooth Profiles)
In your phone, set up a Profile with appropriate ringing volumes and keypad tones and select
and activate when using with the Z9. Some phones can automatically activate a desired
profile when connecting to a Car Kit or Headset Accessory. E.g. Go to Enhancement Settings
and select a Default Profile to activate when the headset connects. With some phones you
can also personalize levels to make suitable for yourself (see your phone’s user manual for
instructions on using and activating Phone Profiles). Typical phone Profiles are General,
Outdoor, Meeting, Silent, Handsfree, Headset, Portable handsfree and Carkit.
Phone/PDA/Computer Software
Please make sure you have the latest firmware upgrade for your phone especially if you are
using a PDA Phone. Go to the support section of the manufacturers’ website to check that
you have the latest version. Many new mobile phones, PDA’s and computer phones require a
Bluetooth patch to improve Bluetooth functionality from the original released version.
Resetting Your Phone/PDA
Phones and PDA’s can become prone to software and memory issues which may cause
Bluetooth reconnection problems. This can be fixed simply by turning the phone OFF and
back ON again. The phone will be reset and the working memory cleared.
Resetting your phone weekly can help maintain it’s functionality including Bluetooth.
