Wireless Stereo HeadsetMDR-1ABT

Receiving a call

You can enjoy a hands-free call with a smartphone or mobile phone that supports the BLUETOOTH profile HFP (Hands-free Profile) or HSP (Headset Profile), via a BLUETOOTH connection.

  • 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 your smartphone or mobile phone.

Ring tone

When an incoming call arrives, a ring tone will be heard from the headset.

You will hear either of following ring tones, depending on your smartphone or mobile phone.

  • Ring tone set on the headset
  • Ring tone set on the smartphone or mobile phone
  • Ring tone set on the smartphone or mobile phone only for a BLUETOOTH connection
  1. Connect the headset to a smartphone or mobile phone beforehand.
  2. When you hear a ring tone, double-tap the touch sensor lightly and receive the call.

    When an incoming call arrives even while you are listening to music, playback pauses and a ring tone will be heard from the headset.

    Double-tap lightly (about 0.4-second interval).

    If no ring tone is heard via the headset

    • The headset may not be connected with the smartphone or mobile phone with HFP or HSP. Check the connection status on the smartphone or mobile phone.
    • If playback does not pause automatically, operate the headset to pause playback.
  3. Control the volume by operating the touch sensor.
    • To increase the volume: Swipe up repeatedly until the volume reaches the desired level.


    • To decrease the volume: Swipe down repeatedly until the volume reaches the desired level.


    • If you hold your finger to the touch sensor after swiping up or down, the volume continues to change.
  4. To end the call, double-tap the touch sensor lightly again.
    If you received a call during music playback, music playback resumes automatically.

Note

  • Depending on the smartphone or mobile phone, playback may not resume automatically even if you finish the call.
  • Use a smartphone or mobile phone at least 50 cm (19 3/4 in.) away from the headset. Noise may result if the headset and the smartphone or mobile phone are too close.

Hint

  • Some smartphones or mobile phones by default receive calls with the phone instead of the headset. With an HFP or HSP connection, switch the call device to the headset by holding your finger to the touch sensor until the device is switched or by using your smartphone or mobile phone.
  • If you adjust the volume on the headset when not talking, the music playback volume is adjusted.
  • Volume during a call and volume during music playback can be adjusted independently. Changing call volume does not change the volume of music playback, and vice versa.
