Bluetooth FAQ
1.Is it safe to use Bluetooth devices, I have heard they can allow unauthorized connections?
For Bluetooth security reasons, once you have set up your Bluetooth devices we recommend turning OFF the visibility option in the Bluetooth Menu of your phone so that other Bluetooth users cannot see your device. (This only applies to a few mainly older Bluetooth enabled phones as most new phones have better security.)
2.Can somebody else take control of my X5 if they are in range?
No, the X5 can only connect to previously paired devices that have been properly authenticated. The Pairing procedure creates an encrypted key known only to the two devices paired.
3.What is the difference between Handsfree and Headset Bluetooth Profiles?
Handsfree Profile allows for extra features to be used with a mobile phone. Voice Dial, redial, call transfer are some that are included in Handsfree but not Headset. Handsfree also allows for a slightly better call quality.
4. How do I know if my devices are connected?
When Bluetooth is turned ON in your phone you may see a Bluetooth symbol appear on your main screen that changes slightly (colors invert or arrows appear) when connected to the X5. Some phones show a Headset or Car symbol to notify you that the devices are connected.
5.How far can my mobile be from the X5 and still remain connected? The X5 will remain connected within a range of 10 meters (30 ft). Sound quality may start to deteriorate after about 7 meters depending on your environment.
6.Can other electrical devices cause interference with Bluetooth? Bluetooth technology employs a technique called frequency hopping to constantly change the frequency at which it sends data, reducing interference with wireless devices like wireless LAN’s, cordless landline phones. Noise Interference can occur if the Bluetooth device is used in close proximity with microwave. Check if there are any such devices in the surroundings, and if so keep the distance between the X5 and such devices to at least 5 - 10m. Usually any interference will only cause a slight crackling sound. The frequency of Bluetooth is much higher than that of
