wireless networking technology
which uses a 2.4GHz ~ 2.48GHz
frequency to connect various
devices within a certain distance.
Supported within PCs, external devices,
Bluetooth®phones, PDAs,
various electronic devices, and
automotive environments,
Bluetooth®allows data to be trans-
mitted at high speeds without hav-
ing to use a connector cable.

Bluetooth®Handsfree refers to a
device which allows the user to
conveniently make phone calls with
Bluetooth®mobile phones through
the audio system.

Bluetooth®Handsfree may not be
supported in some mobile phones.
