1
Bluetooth is a radio technology developed to connect devices, such as
mobile phones and headsets, without wires or cords over a short distance of
approximately 10 metres. More information is available at www.bluetooth.com
2
Bluetooth profiles are protocols through which Bluetooth devices
communicate with other devices. Bluetooth phones support different sets of
profiles – most support the headset profile but some support the hands-free
profile and others support both profiles. In order to support a certain profile, a
phone manufacturer has to implement certain mandatory features within the
phone's software.
3
Pairing creates a unique and encrypted communication link between two
Bluetooth-enabled devices and allows them to communicate with each other.
Bluetooth devices will not work if the devices have not been paired with each
other.
4
Passkey or PIN is a secret code that needs to be entered on the phone in
order to pair the mobile phone with headset. When you have already paired
your mobile phone with headset, the phone and headset will recognize each
other and the phone will bypass the discovery and authentication process and
automatically accept the transmission.
5
Standby mode is when the headset is passively waiting for a call. When you
"end" the call on your mobile phone, headset will go into standby mode.
6
Active mode is when the headset has an active call in progress. Headset will
go from standby mode into active mode when you receive a call or when you
make a call.
