Frequently asked questions
How far away from
my phone will the
headset work?
The operating range is typically up to 30 feet
(10 metres).
Will the headset
work with my
cordless phone at
home?
The headset is not designed for use with
cordless phones.
Will the headset
work with laptops,
PCs, and PDAs?
The headset will work with devices that are
compliant with Bluetooth version 2.0 and
support the headset and/or hands-free
profile(s).
Will anything
cause interference
with my
conversation when
I’m using the
headset?
Appliances such as cordless phones and
wireless networking equipment may cause
interference with your conversation. To
reduce any interference, keep the headset
away from other devices that use or produce
radio waves.

18
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?
To clean the headset, use a clean, soft cloth
that is slightly damp.
