BlueAnt V12 - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) A. General 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14.
A. General 1. What is the main difference between the V12 and other Bluetooth headsets? The V12 has a backlit LCD screen which provides the user with much information about the status of the headset. Rather than relying on flashes of LED lights like other headsets, the V12 tells the user exactly what it is doing in defined status symbols and words.
10. Can I use voice activated dialing if my phone supports it? Yes the V12 supports voice activated dialing if your phone also supports it. This feature requires the phone to support the Handsfree profile which (generally) all newly released phones do support. Headset profile is becoming outdated and few phones are released only with Headset profile these days. Check your phones user manual for information on setting this up. 11.
B. Bluetooth 1. Is it safe to use Bluetooth devices, I have heard they can allow unauthorized connections? For Bluetooth security reasons, after you have set up your bluetooth devices we recommend turning OFF the visibility option in the Bluetooth Menu of your phone so that other Bluetooth users cannot see the your phone. (This only applies to a few mainly older Bluetooth enabled phones as most new phones have better security.) 2.
C. Troubleshooting 1. Why won’t my V12 go into pairing mode? Follow through the instructions in the V12 Manual. To enter pairing mode Press and hold the MFB till ‘pairing’ is displayed on screen. If you have already paired 3 different phones to the V12 you will need to reset it to pair a new device. The V12 sometimes requires a few seconds to establish a connection. Please be patient while devices connect. 2.
8. How can I stay near the V12 but not have calls diverted through it? The V12 will remain connected within a range of 10 meters so if you are staying near the device but want to take calls through the phone simply switch the V12 off by long pressing the MFB button. 9. My phone says “Bluetooth Module not found” what can I do? This means that your phone cannot find its internal Bluetooth chip for some reason. Restarting your phone should fix this problem. If not please contact your phones manufacturer.
