What is Bluetooth Wireless
Technology?

Bluetooth™ wireless technology makes it possible to connect
compatible communication, computing and other consumer

electronic devices without using cables. The technology is based
on a radio link that offers fast and reliable transmission of
voice and data information. It does not require a line-of-sight
connection in order to establish communication. Bluetooth
wireless technology uses a globally available frequency range
intended to ensure communication compatibility with a wide
variety of devices worldwide.

How Can I Use My Headset?

You can connect your STEP 1150 headset to your mobile phone
or PC – or any device with Bluetooth™ wireless technology that

supports the Bluetooth headset or hands-free profile version 1.1 or

1.2 – to keep your hands free for more important tasks when
you are at the office or in your car. This User’s Guide focuses on
how to use the headset with your Bluetooth compatible mobile
phone. When the headset is connected to your mobile phone, you
can use voice control to make calls (if your phone supports this
function). The phone can be tucked away in your pocket or in a
bag. You can handle incoming and outgoing calls, and adjust the
volume using the single ‘rocker switch’ on your STEP 1150
headset. Simply rock the multi-function controller wheel forward
two times to increase the volume or back two times to decrease the
volume for each incremental level.

Overview

Your STEP 1150 wireless Bluetooth

™

headset is designed to
provide you the greatest degree of freedom and comfort available in
wireless communication. Any device that you want to use with
your STEP 1150 headset has to be compatible with Bluetooth
wireless technology and support the Bluetooth headset or hands­free profile version 1.1 or 1.2. To be able to use the STEP
1150 headset together with a mobile phone that does not have
built-in Bluetooth capability, you will need to connect the optional
STEP BTA-1 wireless Bluetooth adapter to it.

The STEP 1150 can also be used with Bluetooth compatible
PDAs, PCs and other consumer electronic devices that support
the Bluetooth headset or hands-free profile version 1.1 or 1.2 or
are compatible with STEP’s optional Bluetooth adaptor.
