model. Check with the manufacturers of other devices to determine their
compatibility with this device.

There may be restrictions on using Bluetooth technology in some locations.
Check with your local authorities or service provider.

Features using Bluetooth technology or allowing such features to run in the
background while using other features, increase the demand on battery power
and reduce the battery life.

Bluetooth technology allows you to connect the phone to a
compatible Bluetooth device within 10 meters (32 feet). Since
devices using Bluetooth technology communicate using radio waves,
your phone and the other devices do not need to be in direct line-of-
sight, although the connection can be subject to interference from
obstructions such as walls or from other electronic devices.
