Using Bluetooth

Before Using

xYou 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 computers may be incompatible with your phone.

xUsing the Bluetooth technology may affect battery life. Turn off Bluetooth when it is not in use to prevent unnecessary battery consumption.

xBluetooth may interfere with other wireless devices that use the same frequency band.

xHeadsets 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.

xWhen 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 function will activate.

xWhen 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.

xYou may have difficulty hearing some calls in noisy environments or outdoors, due to surrounding noise.
