Your Stereo Bluetooth® Handset SBH52 is designed to make life more convenient
when you're on the go. You can use it together with an Android™ powered device
such as a phone or tablet, or with a non-Android device that supports Bluetooth®,
for example, a phone, a computer or a music player. When paired with a
compatible device, you can use your Bluetooth® handset to perform some or all of
the following actions:
•Handle incoming calls, for example, answer or reject an incoming call.
•Stream music from a music-playing device.
•Make a call directly from the Bluetooth® handset call log*.
•Display event notifications such as text messages, emails, calendar event
reminders, and updates from social networking services*.
•Get event notifications read out loud*.
•Perform other basic tasks, for example, indicate the time.
You can also use the Bluetooth® handset as a standalone FM radio when it's
connected to a set of wired headphones (which function as an antenna).
* For these functions to work, you must use an Android™ device that supports the
relevant functions, for example, call handling and messaging. Also, you must have
the Smart Connect and Stereo Bluetooth® Handset SBH52 applications installed on
the Android™ device.

Using your handset with two devices simultaneously
Your Bluetooth® handset has two dierent connection modes: Multipoint mode
and Singlepoint mode. Multipoint mode helps you manage two connections at the
same time, for example, it lets you handle calls from one device and play music
from another. You must switch to Multipoint mode manually after you pair your
handset with a second device successfully. If you stop using one of the two
devices, you should switch manually to Singlepoint mode.
Your handset remembers both paired devices. You can reconnect previously paired
devices easily by switching back to Multipoint mode from Singlepoint mode. A
previously paired device can then be detected automatically.
If your handset is paired with two Android™ devices, you must select one of them
as the primary device for viewing event notifications and handling calls on the
handset.
You can only connect to a maximum of two devices in Multipoint mode. If you pair the
handset with a third device, the first paired device gets removed from the memory of the
handset.
