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 Earpiece?

You can connect your Earlite 1100™ earpiece to your mobile

phone or PC – or any device with Bluetooth™ wireless technology

that supports the Bluetooth headset profile version 1.1 – 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

earpiece with your Bluetooth compatible mobile phone. When the

earpiece 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 Earlite 1100 earpiece. Simply

rotate the rocker switch forward two times to increase the volume

or back two times to decrease the volume for each incremental

level.
