BASIC OPERATIONS
Using Bluetooth
Before Using
x You can send data up to 10 meters (33 feet), but if there are
obstacles between the devices, the operating distance may
be reduced. Other manufacturers' phones or PCs may be
incompatible with your phone.
x Using the Bluetooth technology may affect battery
life. Turn off Bluetooth when it is not in use to prevent
unnecessary battery consumption.
x Bluetooth may interfere with other wirless devices that use
the same frequency band.
x Headsets and hands-free devices may not be discoverable
when they are connected to and in use with other devices,
or when other devices are attempting to pair with them.
x When you make a call, listen to music, or watch TV with
a Bluetooth device, the sound quality degrades and the
Bluetooth device eventually disconnects as you move
farther away from the phone. If you exceed the operating
distance, the speakerphone feature will activate.
x When you use a Bluetooth headset, sound quality may
degrade, due to obstacles or interference. For optimal
performance, use a Bluetooth headset within a short
distance and remove obstacles from between the devices.
x You may have difficulty hearing some calls in noisy
environments or outdoors, due to surrounding noise.
x Some Bluetooth headsets may not be compatible with the
phone.
x When you connect the phone to a Bluetooth-enabled car
stereo and start the music player on the car stereo, the
music application on the phone will launch.
