Short press the MFB (6) button will automatically end the 1st phone call and accept the 2nd phone call (audio will automatically be heard through the handfree kit).

The SUPERTOOTH BUDDY always maintains a maximum of 8 phones in its memory. An additional pairing will automatically delete the phone that has not been used for the longest time. This phone needs to be paired again before it can be used.

You can easily switch to any of the paired phones by:

1. Connecting one of the 2 connected phones using the "Active devices" in the Bluetooth menu of that phone.
2. Connecting the handsfree kit to the desired phone by using the "Paired devices" in the Bluetooth menu of that phone.

Note: Reconnection to a paired phone can also be done by pressing the MFB (6) button. However, the SUPERTOOTH BUDDY will attempt to connect to the last used phone only. Therefore, it is recommended to connect to another paired phone using the phone menu.
