Connect to a wireless headset
With a wireless headset (sold separately), you can speak on the phone hands-free – you can

continue what you're doing, such as working at your computer, during a call.
Since devices with Bluetooth wireless technology communicate using radio waves, they do

not need to be in direct line-of-sight. Bluetooth devices must, however, be within 10 meters

(33 feet) of each other, although the connection may be subject to interference from

obstructions such as walls or from other electronic devices.
Paired devices can connect to your phone when Bluetooth is turned on. Other devices can

detect your phone only if the Bluetooth settings view is open.
Do not pair with or accept connection requests from an unknown device. This helps to protect

your phone from harmful content.
