About Bluetooth function

What is Bluetooth technology?

• Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range wireless technology that enables wireless data communication between digital devices, such as a cellular phone and a headset. Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 m (about 33 feet). Connecting two devices is common, but some devices can be connected to multiple devices at the same time.

• You do not need to use a cable for connection since Bluetooth technology is a wireless technology, neither is it necessary for the devices to face one another, such is the case with infrared technology. For example, you can use such a device in a bag or pocket.

• Bluetooth technology is an international standard supported by millions of companies all over the world, and employed by various companies worldwide.

On Bluetooth communication

Notrufe

Diese Bluetooth-Freisprecheinrichtung für das Auto und das elektronische Gerät, das mit der Freisprecheinrichtung verbunden ist, arbeiten mit Radiosignalen, Mobilfunk- und Festnetzen sowie benutzerprogrammierten Funktionen, bei denen nicht unter allen Umständen eine Verbindung garantiert werden kann. Verlassen Sie sich daher bei wichtigen Mitteilungen (wie z. B. medizinischen Notfällen) nicht ausschließlich auf elektronische Geräte. Wenn Sie Anrufe tätigen oder empfangen wollen, denken Sie daran, dass die Freisprecheinrichtung und das elektronische Gerät, das mit der Freisprecheinrichtung verbunden ist, eingeschaltet sein müssen und nur in Gebieten mit ausreichender Mobilfunksignalstärke verwendet werden können. Notrufe sind unter Umständen nicht bei allen Mobilfunknetzen möglich oder stehen bei Verwendung bestimmter Netzwerkdienste und/oder Telefonfunktionen nicht zur Verfügung. Weitere Informationen erhalten Sie bei ihrem lokalen Mobilfunkanbieter.
