Bluetooth Information Bluetooth is a short-distance two-way wireless communication technology capable of transmitting data, commands, and audio between devices. The Metro can connect with many devices such as mobile phones, tablets, PDAs, computers, media players, and more. Before you can use your Metro with your device they will need to be paired.
Turn down the volume prior to using the headphones; adjust the volume to the desired level once they are connected.
