3.4 Voice Prompt
On the Bluetooth Mic, the voice prompt works
as an essential feedback from your operation.
Since the Bluetooth Mic does not have built-
in speakers, you must use headphones to
hear the voice prompts. You can hear voice
messages and voice prompts when you
operate the Bluetooth Mic such as when

putting the Bluetooth Mic into pairing mode or
entering the “Conguration menu”. It is strongly
recommended for you to use headphones to
proplerly set up the system.
3.5 Volume Adjustment
You can easily adjust the volume by tapping
the (+) Button or the (-) Button. You will hear
a beep when the volume reaches maximum
or minimum level. The volume is set and
maintained independently at dierent levels
for each audio source even when you turn o
and on the Bluetooth Mic. For example, once
you set the volume for a paired mobile phone,
it will not change even if you adjust the volume
when you hear Bluetooth MP3 music. So you
can always maintain the preferred optimum
volume level for each audio source.
3.6 Using Internal/External
Microphone
Users may use either the built-in microphone
of the Bluetooth Mic (internal microphone)
or the microphone of a connected pair of
headphones (external microphone). According
to the application, you may use either one by
using the switching operation. Press the (-)
Button for 3 seconds and then the mode will be
switched to the one for internal microphone or
external microphone. (factory default: internal
microphone)

order of priority:
(highest) Mobile phone,
Intercom,
Music sharing by Bluetooth stereo music,
(lowest) Bluetooth stereo music
A lower priority function is always interrupted
by a higher priority function. For example,
stereo music is interrupted by an intercom call,
and an intercom conversation is interrupted by
an incoming mobile phone call.
3.8 Charging
The charging LED beside the charging port
turns red while charging and turns blue when
the Bluetooth Mic is fully charged. It takes
about 2.5 hours to be completely charged. You
can use the Bluetooth Mic while charging. It
is especially helpful when you use a cigarette
charger for a long road trip.

ways when the Bluetooth Mic is powering on.
