Since devices using Bluetooth technology communicate using
radio waves, your phone and the other devices do not need to
be in direct line-of-sight (unlike infrared communication).
The two devices need only to be within 33 feet (10 meters)
of each other, although connections may be subject to
interference from obstructions such as thick walls or other
electronic devices. Bluetooth communication consumes
your phone’s battery charge and your phone’s operating
time will be reduced. You should take this into account when
performing other operations with your phone.
NOTE:
There may be restrictions on using Bluetooth
communication in certain areas. Check with your local authorities.
NOTE:
It is recommended to use the Pantech PS1 unit
because the Stereo Bluetooth function may not be compatible with
stereo Bluetooth headsets made by other companies. Please refer
