Receiving a Call

  • If your smartphone or mobile phone supports both HFP and HSP, set it to HFP.
  • Operations may vary depending on the smartphone or mobile phone. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the smartphone or mobile phone.

  • During a call, sound is emitted from the front speaker only.
  • The microphone is on the front speaker only. The rear speakers are not equipped with a microphone.

  • Depending on the smartphone or mobile phone, playback may not pause when an incoming call arrives.
  • Use a smartphone or mobile phone at least 50 cm (1.6 ft) away from the front speaker. Noise may result if the front speaker and the smartphone or mobile phone are too close.
  • Depending on the model of your smartphone or mobile phone, the operation system or applications installed, some functions of hands-free calling may not be used correctly.

  • When a call is received by operating a smartphone/mobile phone, the call may be prioritized by the smartphone/mobile phone depending on the model. In the case of the HFP or HSP connection, switch the call device to the speaker system by operating your smartphone or mobile phone.
  • If the caller cannot hear or can barely hear your voice, lean closer to the front speaker and then talk into its microphone.
