About Bluetooth®Technology
Bluetooth is technology used for wireless communication between devices.
Bluetooth technology is based on a radio receiver and transmitter built into a tiny microchip,
one of which is incorporated into this product and the other in a compatible mobile phone.
Bluetooth enables wireless connections between a device and a mobile phone within a radius
of 10 meters of each other, without a physical cable or a line-of-sight connection.
Iqua miniUFO Bluetooth® Portable Handsfree can be used with any brand of Bluetooth mobile
phones that supports Headset or Handsfree profiles. For the latest compatibility information,
please visit www.iqua.com.
The Bluetooth word mark and logos are owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and any use of such marks by IQUA is
