What is Bluetooth

Bluetooth wireless technology provides a way for devices to communicate with each other using short-range radio frequency instead of wires. Any two Bluetooth devices can communicate as long as they both have Bluetooth turned on, they are within range and they have been paired — a quick "handshake" process that connects the two devices. Bluetooth range is up to 10 metres (33 feet). Obstructions such as walls or other electronics devices can cause interference or shorten the effective range.

NOTE For optimal performance, place your headset and phone on the same side of your body.
