Making a phone call

With Bluetooth® enabled phones (cell phones or smartphones) that support the “HSP” or “HFP” Bluetooth®
profile, you can use the unit for phone calls.
• HSP (Headset Profile):
This profile can be used to receive monaural sounds and establish two-way communication using the
microphone on the unit.
• HFP (Hands-Free Profile):
In addition to the HSP functions, this profile has the incoming and outgoing calls function.
(This unit does not have a function that allows you to make phone calls independently of a Bluetooth® enabled
phone.)
1 Connect the Bluetooth® device and the unit. (l 10, “Connecting a Bluetooth® device”)

2 Press [Multiple functions button] on the unit and answer the incoming call.
