Introduction
The Bluetooth® technology enables voice and data to be sent via a short-distance radio
link. It allows several electronic devices to communicate with each other, particularly
phones and hands-free kits.
Parrot is drawing on its long years of experience in signal processing and voice recognition
technology to offer a hands-free kit with superior audio quality during calls: the Parrot
SK4000.
With the Parrot SK4000, you will be able to make phone calls from your motorbike while
keeping your hands on the handlebars. You can also use the audio streaming function on
your hands-free kit to listen to the music files stored on your phone, PDA or audio player (if
your phone, PDA or audio player supports the audio streaming function). The Parrot SK4000
acts as a real extension of your mobile phone.
Kit contents
The kit contains:
•A Parrot SK4000
•A mini USB / Jack cable
•A power supply cable
•An allen key
•A quick start guide
