IMPORTANT
BLUETOOTH INFORMATION
Since November
of 2006, Phone Labs is offering a new Bluetooth Module, the BT03,
which provides the latest Class 1 Bluetooth 2.0 advanced features
and extended range (Class 1) of 300' or
more and is supported by the Dock-N-Talk™ and the Enterprise Telephone™ firmware
with versions 1.XX and above.
An important new feature of the latest Bluetooth Module allows the user to pair up to 8 phones to the same Bluetooth Module.
However, only one cell phone at a time can be actively connected to the Bluetooth Module. The new Bluetooth module can be identified by the model number of BT03 on the back label.
Former 0.XX firmware versions of the Dock-N-Talk™ and Enterprise Telephone™ will not be compatible with the new
BT03 Bluetooth Module. However, all the prior versions of the Bluetooth Modules will continue to be compatible with the newest firmware versions.
The maximum effective range of the
prior Bluetooth Module BT01 is 30 ft and for the BT03 is 300 ft
or more but can be less depending on the levels of competing radio frequency interference.
Bluetooth devices transmit and receive in the 2.4Ghz frequency spectrum. There can
be interference issues with using a Bluetooth device in the same area as
2.4Ghz cordless phones hybrid 5.8 Ghz cordless phones and Wi-Fi 802.11b & 802.11g, which also
operate on the 2.4Ghz frequency. Since 2.4Ghz and hybrid 5.8 Ghz cordless phones and
Wi-Fi 802.11b/g
use high power signals in the same 2.4Ghz frequency, they can
interfere with lower power devices such as Bluetooth.
For best results when using other 2.4Ghz devices, keep those devices as far away as possible from the Dock-N-Talk™ and
cell phone.
NOTE: The Push-To-Talk feature doesn't work with the Bluetooth
module. PTT feature is only supported with a cable connection.
