Seecode Tube User Manual 1. Introduction 1.1 Bluetooth Technology Bluetooth is an internationally standardized technology supporting short distance wireless communications. Any two Bluetooth-compatible equipments, such as mobile phone, PDA、PC, headset, mouse, keyboards, printer, etc. can wirelessly communicate with each other via Bluetooth connection. To ensure worldwide compatibility, Bluetooth operates on the globally available Industrial Scientific and Medical (ISM) frequency band. Within 2.4 GHz and 2.48 GHz, Bluetooth transmits data up to either 10 meters (CLASS II mode) or 100 meters (CLASS I mode) using 79 frequency hopping channels. Though line-of-sight is not required, Bluetooth connections could be subject to interferences from obstructions such as walls, human bodies, and other electronic devices. In addition, due to variations on product implementation, it is likely that Bluetooth equipments from different manufactures have interoperability issues. In that case, you may consult with manufactures to check product compatibility. Note that, there could be some restrictions imposing on using Bluetooth devices in some countries. Please check with your local authorities. 1.2 Product Features z Bluetooth v 2.0 compliant, Class II, operating range up to 10 meters z An OLED screen displays phone status, battery capacity, signal strength, call status, caller’s ID, and local phonebook records z User friendly menu and six easy-to-operate keys make it convenient for you to make/receive calls and operate Seecode Tube z Support local phonebook call origination and phonebook synchronization with mobile phone records z Support software upgrade via USB port z Support the simultaneous connection with two Bluetooth handsets z Support the storage of the pairing information of up to 8 handsets z Support Text-to-Speech (TTS) and voice prompt of the device status and incoming call ID z Best-in-class voice quality ensured by cutting-edge noise suppression and echo cancellation techniques z Support voice dialing, call waiting, and conference call z Support multi-language display z Better portability with internal rechargeable Lithium Polymer battery z 3.5mm standardized Line-Out connector for voice privacy z Low power consumption, up to 10 hours talk time and 1000 hours standby time with the internal battery z Human-oriented accessories for easy mounting in vehicles 1.3 Package Contents z Seecode Tube, 1 . 7
