| First, check whether the device you wish to use is Bluetooth-enabled: Look for this symbol on the device
or in its user guide. |  |
Second,
the range of possible
applications of a Bluetooth-enabled device is defined by “profiles”. The device you wish to use with
your iCom must support the appropriate Bluetooth profile. These differ depending on what you want to
do with your iCom: - To receive calls your mobile phone
must support either the “Handsfree” or “Headset” profile. Many, but
not all mobile phones support these Bluetooth profiles. Look for this information in your mobile phone’s
user guide.
- To listen to stereo music from your mobile phone or PC, it must support
the “A2DP” or “Stereo Headset”
profile. Fewer devices support this Bluetooth profile. Look for this information in your device’s user
guide.
Bluetooth device compatibility
Although
Bluetooth is a widely-supported standard, manufacturers differ in how they implement it. Unfortunately,
some Bluetooth-enabled devices are compatible only with certain other devices. If a problem occurs in
the connection between your device and your iCom, or if you are uncertain about your device’s Bluetooth
capabilities, please consult your device’s user guide or ask the manufacturer.
Bluetooth
operating range
Your iCom supports Bluetooth operation up to a range of 10 m (30
ft.). Line-of-sight between your iCom and other device is not required. However, the following factors
may affect the range achieved:
- Interference
in the environment
may reduce the operating range of Bluetooth.
- The Bluetooth device with which you
are connecting
may support a more limited range than the 10 m supported by the iCom. If your Bluetooth device moves
out of range of your iCom during an active audio connection, this connection will be terminated. If
the device is then moved back into range of your iCom, it may or may not resume streaming to your hearing
instruments. This depends on the device.
