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

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.

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
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. When headset is in active mode, the blue light will flash every eight seconds.
6
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. When headset is
in standby mode, the blue light will flash every three seconds.
