Useful Functions
Using Hands-free Calling
While Listening to Music
You can enjoy hands-free calling via BLUETOOTH
connection with a BLUETOOTH mobile phone that has a
music function and supports the BLUETOOTH profile
A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile), and HFP
(Hands-free Profile) or HSP (Headset Profile).
If your BLUETOOTH mobile phone supports both HFP
and HSP, set to HFP.
Operations may vary depending on the BLUETOOTH
mobile phone. Refer also to the operating instructions
supplied with your mobile phone.
1 Make the BLUETOOTH connection
between the system and the mobile
phone.
For details on the BLUETOOTH connection procedure,
see “How to Make Wireless Connection with
BLUETOOTH Devices.” The BLUETOOTH connection is
established and “

What is BLUETOOTH
wireless technology?
BLUETOOTH wireless technology is a short-range
wireless technology that enables wireless data
communication between digital devices, such as a
computer and digital camera. BLUETOOTH wireless
technology operates within a range of about 10 m.
Connecting two devices as necessary is common, but
some devices can be connected to multiple devices at
the same time.
You do not need to use a cable for connection, nor is it
necessary for the devices to face one another, such is
the case with infrared technology. For example, you can
use such a device in a bag or pocket.
BLUETOOTH standard is an international standard
supported by thousands of companies all over the
world, and employed by various companies worldwide.
Communication System and Compatible
BLUETOOTH Profiles of the system
Profile is standardisation of the function for each
BLUETOOTH device specification. The system supports
the following BLUETOOTH version and profiles:
Communication System:
BLUETOOTH Specification version 3.0
Compatible BLUETOOTH Profiles:
A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile):
Transmitting or receiving audio content of
high-quality.
AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile):
Controlling A/V equipment; pausing, stopping, or
starting playback, etc.
HSP (Headset Profile): Talking on the phone/
Operating the phone.
HFP (Hands-free Profile): Talking on the phone/
Operating the phone by hands-free.
SPP (Serial Port Profile): Establishing serial
communication with BLUETOOTH device.
Maximum communication range
Use BLUETOOTH devices within 10 m (line of sight) of
the system.
Maximum communication range may shorten under the
following conditions.
There is an obstacle such as a person, metal, or wall
between the system and BLUETOOTH device.
A wireless LAN device is in use near the system.
A microwave oven is in use near the system.
A device that generates electromagnetic radiation is
in use near the system.
Interference from other devices
Because BLUETOOTH devices and wireless LAN
(IEEE802.11b/g) use the same frequency, microwave
interference may occur and resulting in communication
speed deterioration, noise, or invalid connection if the
system is used near a wireless LAN device. In such a
case, perform the following.
Use the system at least 10 m away from the wireless
LAN device.
If the system is used within 10 m of a wireless LAN
device, turn off the wireless LAN device.
Interference to other devices
Microwaves emitting from a BLUETOOTH device may
affect the operation of electronic medical devices. Turn
off the system and other BLUETOOTH devices in the
following locations, as it may cause an accident.
where inflammable gas is present, in a hospital,
train, airplane, or a gas station
near automatic doors or a fire alarm
Notes
To be able to use the BLUETOOTH function, the
BLUETOOTH device to be connected requires the
same profile as the system’s.
Note also that even if the same profile exists, devices
may vary in function depending on their
specifications.
Due to the characteristic of BLUETOOTH wireless
technology, the sound played on the system is slightly
delayed from the sound played on the BLUETOOTH
device during talking on the telephone or listening to
the music.
This system supports security capabilities that comply
with the BLUETOOTH standard to provide a secure
connection when the BLUETOOTH wireless technology
is used, but security may not be enough depending
on the setting. Be careful when communicating using
BLUETOOTH wireless technology.
We do not take any responsibility for the leakage of
information during BLUETOOTH communication.
A device featuring the BLUETOOTH function is
required to conform to the BLUETOOTH standard
specified by Bluetooth SIG, and be authenticated.
Even if the connected device conforms to the above
mentioned BLUETOOTH standard, some devices may
not be connected or work correctly, depending on the
features or specifications of the device.
Noise or sound skips may occur depending on the
BLUETOOTH device connected with the system, the
communication environment or the usage
environment.
