Receiving a call

As long as your BLUETOOTH mobile phone supports HFP (Hands-free Profile) or HSP (Headset Profile), you can talk hands-free on the phone through the built-in microphones of the neckband speaker.

  • If your BLUETOOTH mobile phone supports both HFP and HSP, set it to HFP.

  • Operations may vary depending on the BLUETOOTH mobile phone. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the mobile phone.

About ring tones

When an incoming call arrives, playback pauses and a ring tone will be heard via the neckband speaker.

The ring tone varies in the following ways, depending on your BLUETOOTH mobile phone.

  • Ring tone set on the neckband speaker

  • Ring tone set on the BLUETOOTH mobile phone

  • Ring tone set on the BLUETOOTH mobile phone only for a BLUETOOTH connection

  1. Connect the neckband speaker with a BLUETOOTH mobile phone.

    When a BLUETOOTH connection is established, you hear voice guidance (BLUETOOTH connected) from the neckband speaker and the indicator on the neckband speaker starts flashing in blue.

  2. Press the(play/call) button when a call is received.

    The neckband speaker is equipped with built-in omnidirectional microphones. You can talk without considering the locations of the microphones.

    When an incoming call arrives, playback pauses and a ring tone is heard from the neckband speaker.

    If no ring tone is heard via the neckband speaker

    The neckband speaker may not be connected with a BLUETOOTH mobile phone with HFP or HSP. Check the connection status on the BLUETOOTH mobile phone.

  3. While the phone is ringing or a phone conversation is in progress, adjust the volume by pressing the -/+ (volume) buttons on the neckband speaker or operating the BLUETOOTH mobile phone.

    To turn off the microphones

    Press the(microphone off) button on the neckband speaker.

    While a phone conversation is in progress, pressing the (microphone off) button triggers voice guidance (Mic OFF) indicating that the microphones are turned off*. When you press the button once again, you hear voice guidance (Mic ON) indicating that the microphones are turned on.

    * The state that the microphones are turned off is indicated by the notification sound emitted at intervals of 7 seconds.

  4. To end a call, press the(play/call) button.

    If you were listening to music before the call, playback will resume when the call ends. If you end a call by operating the BLUETOOTH mobile phone, playback will also resume when the call ends if you were listening to music before the call.

Hint

  • Some BLUETOOTH 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 neckband speaker by operating your BLUETOOTH mobile phone.

  • The volume for music playback and the volume for phone talking are set independently on the neckband speaker. Changing the volume during a phone conversation does not affect the volume for music playback.

Note

  • Depending on the BLUETOOTH mobile phone, playback may not pause when an incoming call arrives.

  • Use a BLUETOOTH mobile phone at least 50 cm (1.6 ft) away from the neckband speaker. Noise may result if the neckband speaker and the BLUETOOTH mobile phone are too close.

  • Depending on the model of your smartphone, the operation system or applications installed, some functions of hands-free calling may not be used correctly.

  • The microphone off function works for the microphones on the neckband speaker. It does not affect the microphone settings of the software on your smartphone or computer.
