Using a Bluetooth hands-free device
After you create a partnership with your
Bluetooth hands-free device and you turn it
on within range (up to 30 feet or 10
meters), your smartphone automatically
routes all calls to the hands-free device
instead of to the earpiece on your
smartphone. When a call comes in, your
smartphone rings and the hands-free
device beeps. Even if you answer the call
on your smartphone, the call goes to the
hands-free device. If you prefer to route
calls to the earpiece on your smartphone,
you can change the settings on your
smartphone to do this; see Customizing
advanced settings for your hands-free
device for details.
The features of your hands-free device vary
by model. Check the documentation for
your hands-free device for details about
