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.

The ring tone varies in the following ways, 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, press the (call) button on the headset 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.

    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. Press the VOL+ or VOL- button to adjust the volume.
  4. To end the call, press the (call) button on the headset again.

    If you were listening to music when the call arrived, playback will resume when the call ends.

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 have handset use priority when receiving a call. In the case of the HFP or HSP connection, switch the call device to the headset by holding the (call) button down for about 2 seconds or by using your smartphone or mobile phone.
  • If you adjust the volume on the headset when not talking, the playback volume is adjusted.
  • Volume for a call and listening to music can be adjusted independently. Even if you change the volume while playing back music, the volume of a call does not change.
