Frequently asked questions
Will my headset work
with laptops, PCs, and
PDAs?
Your headset will work with devices that support
your headset’s Bluetooth version and profiles.
For specifications, see page 23.
Why do I hear static
or interference while
on a call?
Appliances such as cordless phones and wireless
networking equipment may cause interference, which
usually sounds like static. To reduce any interference,
keep the headset away from other devices that use or
produce radio waves.
Will my headset
interfere with my
car’s electronics, radio,
or computer?
Your headset produces significantly less power
than a typical mobile phone. It also only emits
signals that are in compliance with the international
Bluetooth standard. Therefore, you should not expect
any interference with standard consumer-grade
electronics equipment.
