PLEASE READ!
IMPORTANT NOTES
about using a Bluetooth Cell Phone and your Device!
With some phones there is the possibility that you will hear static and
buzzing from your device when you make a call. This is NOT a problem
with your device.It is due to your phone software and PRC cannot fix this.
There are not many phones that support Bluetooth text messaging, so do
not expect that your phone will. Look for "Text Messaging Supported" in the
Bluetooth Status box when you pair your device and phone. If you do not
see this message, text messaging is not supported.
When using a phone, your device and your phone should be within 10 feet
of each other for best results.
