17
English
Will the headset
interfere with my
car’s electronics,
radio, or computer?
The 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.
Can other Bluetooth
phone users hear my
conversation?
When you pair the headset to your Bluetooth
phone, you are creating a private link between
only these two Bluetooth devices. The wireless
Bluetooth technology used in the headset is
not easily monitored by third parties, because
Bluetooth wireless signals are significantly
lower in radio frequency power than those
produced by a typical mobile phone.
How do I take care
of the headset?
Wipe it with a soft cloth.
Does not the headset
fully charge?
The headset and the travel adapter may not
have been connected properly.
Separate the headset from the travel adapter
