| What is the latest version of the Bluetooth specification? |
On November 5, 2003, the Bluetooth Special
Interest Group (SIG) released version 1.2 of the Bluetooth Specification.The new
specification will usher in a new generation of products that will have better
audio quality, coexist better with Wi-Fi, and connect faster and more reliably.
The goal of version 1.2 of the Bluetooth Specification was not to introduce new
functionality, but rather to improve on the functionality from the previous
version of the specification, version 1.1. These improvements target two
fundamental areas, quality and speed, and do so in ways that are transparent to
the end user. This means that the user doesn't have to re-learn how to use
Bluetooth version 1.2 products. |
| What is a Personal Area Network (PAN)? |

Certification Program requires Bluetooth products to interoperate with products
manufactured by other vendors; those products that don't interoperate will not
be allowed to use the Bluetooth logo |

Why is the range of my Bluetooth device less than the advertised range?
Your Bluetooth device will only work according to the advertised range if you are in a perfect lab environment. Range will depend greatly on the environment in which the equipment operates. If your device is not working at a certain distance, either you have crossed the range or there are limitations (obstructions) within the area that you are using the device. |
How does my mobile phone and my Bluetooth™ Headset know that they should connect with each other and not to other devices?
There is a simple set-up procedure that the user needs to go through in order to pair the two devices with each other. This is clearly described in the User's Guide. |
Can my Bluetooth™ Headset talk to several other devices at the same time?
No, your Bluetooth™ Headset can only talk to one device at a time (a point-to-point communication). |
How do I know if I'm in range, or outside, with my Bluetooth™ Headset?
The Bluetooth™ Headset is not aware if it is in range, or outside. If you walk out of the range limit, the sound of your headset will start fading until it will completely vanish. |
What is pairing?

I get no sound contact between the Handsfree and the other device. Why?
The Handsfree and the device you are using it with have to be paired to recognize each other (for pairing instructions, please consult your User’s Guide). They also have to be within range of each other (up to 10m / 30ft with no solid objects in between). |
