Thank you for purchasing the SBH170, Samsung Stereo
Bluetooth Headset. We hope you will be satisfied with
your new headset. Please read the instruction manual to
get started and to make the best use of the headset’s
features.
Using a mobile phone while driving creates a distraction
to the driver which may increase the likelihood of an
accident.
When using the phone while driving, keep conversations
short and do not make notes or read documents. Before
answering calls consider your circumstances. Pull off the
road and park before making or answering calls when
driving conditions require (e.g. bad weather, high traffic
density, presence of children in the car, difficult junctions
or manoeuvres.)
Remember, driving comes first, not the call!
Abide by local laws.
The SBH170 is compatible with most Bluetooth
1
(see
Glossary) phones that are compliant with Bluetooth
version 1.1 or higher and support Advanced Audio
Distribution profile, Audio Video Remote Control profile,
Headset profile, and Hands-free profile
2
. Ensure that your
phone has Bluetooth capability by visiting your phone
manufacturer’s website.
Thank you
Drive safely
