Appendix

Frequently asked questions

Will my headset work with laptops, PCs, and PDAs?	Your headset will work with devices that support your headset's Bluetooth version and profiles. For specifications, see page 30.
Why do I hear static or interference while on a call?	Appliances such as cordless phones and wireless networking equipment may cause interference, which usually sounds like static. To reduce any interference, keep the headset away from other devices that use or produce radio waves.
Will my headset interfere with my car's electronics, radio, or computer?	Your headset produces significantly less power than a typical mobile phone. It also only emits signals that are in compliance with the international Bluetooth standard. Therefore, you should not expect any interference with standard consumer-grade electronics equipment.
Can other Bluetooth phone users hear my conversation?	When you pair your headset to your Bluetooth phone, you are creating a private link between only these two Bluetooth devices. The wireless Bluetooth technology used in your headset is not easily monitored by third parties because Bluetooth wireless signals are significantly lower in radio frequency power than those produced by a typical mobile phone.
Why do I hear an echo while on a call?	Adjust the headset volume, or move to another area and try again.
How do I clean my headset?	Wipe it with a soft dry cloth.
The headset does not fully charge.	The headset and the travel adapter may not have been connected properly.Separate the headset from the travel adapter, reconnect, and charge the headset.
I cannot use all the features described in the manual.	Available features may vary depending on the connected device. If your headset is connected to two devices at once, some features may be unavailable.
