Bluetooth Headset. We hope you will be satisfied with
your new headset. Please read the instruction manual to

Drive safely

to the driver which may increase the likelihood of an
accident.
When using the phone while driving, keep conversations
short and do not make notes or read documents. Before
answering calls consider your circumstances. Pull off the
road and park before making or answering calls when
driving conditions require (e.g. bad weather, high traffic
density, presence of children in the car, difficult junctions
or manoeuvres.)
Remember, driving comes first, not the call!
Abide by local laws.

Glossary) phones that are compliant with Bluetooth
version 1.1 or higher and support Advanced Audio
Distribution profile. Audio Video Remote Control profile.

Glossary
Bluetooth is a radio technology developed to connect
devices, such as mobile phones and headsets, without
wires or cords over a short distance of approximately
10 metres. More information is available at
www.bluetooth.com
22
Page 23
Bluetooth profiles are protocols through which
Bluetooth devices communicate with other devices.
Bluetooth phones support different sets of profiles most support the headset profile but some support the
hands-free profile and others support both profiles. In
order to support a certain profile, a phone
manufacturer has to implement certain mandatory
features within the phone's software.
Pairing creates a unique and encrypted
communication link between two Bluetooth-enabled
devices and allows them to communicate with each
other. Bluetooth devices will not work if the devices
have not been paired with each other.
Passkey or PIN is a secret code that needs to be
entered on a phone in order to pair the phone with a
Bluetooth headset. When you have already paired
your phone with the headset, the phone and the
headset will recognise each other and the phone will
bypass the discovery and authentication process and
automatically accept the transmission.
Standby mode is when the headset is passively
waiting for a call. When you "end" the call on your
mobile phone, the headset will go into Standby mode.
Active mode is when the headset has an active call in
progress or music is being played.
