various devices over short distances. It can connect and exchange data with other Bluetooth
enabled devices, such as mobile devices, computers, printers, and other digital home
appliances, without connecting via cables.

devices are used in.
•
Ensure that there are no obstacles between the headset and a connected device,
including human bodies, walls, corners, or fences.
•
