The following procedures define common operating functions of the handset.
Power On/Off
Press the Power button at the top of the handset for two seconds to turn it On
or Off.
The first time you turn On the Cobra Bluetooth handset you will see a message that
the unit is ready for pairing with a cell phone. The message also provides a
password. If you do not want to pair a device right away, press the Escape button to
go to Standby mode.
When the unit is subsequently turned On, it will search for the currently selected
Bluetooth device and go to Standby mode.
Mode
This button serves two functions:
■
To change the mode of operation between the Bluetooth handset and
your cell phone itself.
■
To switch voice activation of the microphone between On and Off. Turn VOX On
if you want to operate in a hands-free mode similar to a Bluetooth speakerphone.
Mode
Normal operation of the Cobra Bluetooth handset uses its internal microphone
and speaker to conduct conversations during a call. However,
there may be times you want to suspend the Bluetooth pairing and continue
part or all of the call on your cell phone itself.
To Change Between Handset and Cell Phone Modes:
1. Press the Mode button to switch the call to your cell phone.
2. Talk and listen to your cell phone in the usual way. The handset will be inactive.
3. Press the Mode button to restore operation to the handset.
4. Talk and listen to the call on the Bluetooth handset.
VOX
The VOX function converts the handset microphone’s pickup of your voice from
being controlled by the PTT button to being activated by your voice. When VOX
is On, the PTT button does not need to be pushed to transmit your voice and
you can just speak into the microphone.
When VOX is Off, you need to push the PTT button while speaking.
To Change Between VOX On and Off:
1. Press and hold the Mode button for two seconds while a call is in progress.
NOTE
When the VOX function is On in noisy environments, the caller connected
to the BT 200 might hear some of your background noise.
Back Light/Lock
This button serves two functions:
■
To turn the display back light On and Off.
■
To lock and unlock most of the buttons on the handset.
Back Light
A light is provided behind the LCD screen to improve visibility of the information
provided there. However, you can turn the light On or Off at will.
To Turn the Back Light On or Off:
1. Press the Back Light/Lock button.
Lock
The Lock function disables the operation of all buttons except PTT, Back Light/Lock
and Power buttons. When Lock is On, accidental presses of any of the other buttons
are ignored by the unit. A call can be continued if it was started before Lock was
turned On, but new calls cannot be made or answered when Lock is On.
To Turn Lock On or Off:
1. Press and hold the Back Light/Lock button for two seconds.
