15. Glossary

Bluetooth is a radio technology that connects devices, such as mobile

phones and headsets, without wires or cords over a short distance (approx. 33 feet (10 meters)). Get more information at www.bluetooth.com

Bluetooth proﬁles are the diﬀerent ways that Bluetooth devices

communicate with other devices. Bluetooth phones support either the headset proﬁle, the hands-free proﬁle or both. In order to support a certain proﬁle, a phone manufacturer must implement certain mandatory features within the phone’s software.

Pairing creates a unique and encrypted link between two Bluetooth devices

and lets them communicate with each other. Bluetooth devices will not work if the devices have not been paired.

Standby mode is when the Jabra A120s is on but not connected to a headset.

A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Proﬁle) is a Bluetooth Proﬁle that

enables stereo sound. Both the adapter and the device it connects to must support A2DP in order to hear A2DP sound in the headset.

AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Proﬁle) is a Bluetooth proﬁle that

enables remote control of the device that the headset is connected to. Both the headset and the device it connects to must support AVRCP in order for AVRCP to work.
