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 is 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 line-of-sight connection.
Iqua Snake®Headrest 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.
