Overview What is Voice Control? Voice control is the V1’s method of controlling actions on it or the phone it is connected to. With simple commands you can activate most of the headsets functions. To answer a call with your voice just say “Answer”, to reject a call say Volume Down “Ignore”. To “Call Home”, just say the words, it’s that simple. To initiate a new Bluetooth connection with your phone, just say “Pair Me”. It’s that easy. The BlueAnt V1 listens to YOU.

FAQ V1 Bluetooth Headset 1. Is my phone compatible? If your phone has Bluetooth it more than likely supports a Handsfree or Headset Bluetooth profile, and so will work with the V1. Check your phones manual for up to date information. ENGLISH BlueAnt 2. What is the passcode/passkey of the V1? The Passcode for the V1 is “0000”. 3. Can I connect more than one device to my V1 at the same time? No, the V1 can store pairing information for 8 phones but can connect to only one phone or device at a time. 4.
BlueAnt 6. The incoming caller ID does not play and I cannot answer the call using my voice. Why? Some phones that support in-band ringtones do not send the caller ID number to the headset on an incoming call. Inband ringtones basically mean the ability of your phone to play a MP3 or music file instead of a standard ringtone. If you wish to use the Voice Answer feature you will need to use a standard ringtone. 7. Phone commands (Your phones inbuilt voice dialing if it has it) are not successful every time.
