FAQ's:
Which Bluetooth-enabled products will the VoiceStation 500 pair with? The VoiceStation 500 will recognize most devices that are enabled with standards based Bluetooth capability. The VoiceStation 500 is intended to work with other types of communication devices such as mobile phones, Bluetooth headsets and Bluetooth-enabled computers that you use for computer calling.
How does the applications port work using a mobile phone? The mobile phone cable (included with the VoiceStation 500) links the console to the headset jack of a mobile phone. The plug is a standard 2.5mm headset connector. Once the two phones are connected the console acts as a speakerphone for the mobile phone. Dial the call using the mobile phone interface and speak hands free through the VoiceStation 500 console. You can transfer back and forth between speakerphone mode and normal mobile phone mode by unplugging the headset connector. The phone call transmission takes place through the mobile network in this case rather than the landline. Accordingly, this feature has powerful benefits in environments where there are no landlines available.
