Receiving a call

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

  • 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 speaker.

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

  • Ring tone set on the speaker

  • Ring tone set on the BLUETOOTH mobile phone

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

    The power/BLUETOOTH indicator lights up in blue when the BLUETOOTH connection is established.

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

    Talk into the microphone of the speaker.

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

    If no ring tone is heard via the speaker, the speaker may not be connected with a BLUETOOTH mobile phone with HFP or HSP. Check the connection status on the BLUETOOTH mobile phone.

  3. Adjust the volume by pressing the –/+ (volume) buttons on the speaker or operating the BLUETOOTH mobile phone.

    When you press the –/+ (volume) buttons on the speaker or adjust the volume on the BLUETOOTH mobile phone, the power/BLUETOOTH indicator flashes once.

    When you set the volume to the maximum (31) or minimum level on the speaker, the power/BLUETOOTH indicator flashes 3 times.

  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 speaker by operating your BLUETOOTH mobile phone.

  • If the caller cannot hear or can barely hear your voice, talk more directly into the microphone of the speaker.

  • The volume of music playback and calling is set independently in the speaker.

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 speaker. Noise may result if the speaker and the BLUETOOTH mobile phone are too close.

  • If an audio cable is connected to the AUDIO IN jack of the speaker, you cannot listen to music of the BLUETOOTH device. However, when the BLUETOOTH connection is active, the hands-free function is available.

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