Parrot MINIKIT
INTRODUCTION
Parrot MINIKIT
The Parrot MINIKIT is a Bluetooth hands-free kit: no need to hold your mobile phone to
talk with the person on the other end of the line. Thanks to its built-in battery, you can use
it anywhere, such as in the car, in the office and at home.
Taking full advantage of the advanced signal processing system, calls are made in full
duplex mode, along with background noise cancellation and echo reduction for enhanced
listening quality.
Check out www.parrot.biz for details on all the compatible Bluetooth devices and how
to use them with the Parrot MINIKIT.
If you find that the Parrot MINIKIT is out of range while you are driving, stop the
car in a safe place before making or receiving calls.
