X5i Stereo Bluetooth Headset 

 
 
radio station bands. Also, if someone in the vicinity puts his or her Bluetooth 
device into pairing mode, this will cause interference. This is true for any 
Bluetooth devices.   
 

7.  If I cup my hand over a Bluetooth device the signal strength and 
quality suffers.    Why does this happen? 

Bluetooth signals are radio waves and so, do not need line of sight to 
operate. But, radio waves cannot travel through water and as the human 
body is made up of mostly water they cannot travel through it. And so, your 
hand will create a barrier causing slight interference and a loss of signal 
quality resulting in audio that may crackle. 
 

8.    What Bluetooth devices can use the X5 Stereo Headset? 

To use the X5 Stereo the device must support either the Headset, 
Handsfree or A2DP Bluetooth profiles. Some devices may only support 
Bluetooth data transmission and not audio.   
You can use the Y-cable to connect to any 2-way voice enabled device 
provided they have a 3.5mm jack. To use another sized jack such as a 
2.5mm jack (as with some non-Bluetooth mobile phones) you will need to 
buy a jack adapter which can be purchased at any electronics store for a 
few dollars. 

 
 

9.  What is A2DP? 

Advanced Audio Distribution Profile - A2DP technology is a new music 
revolution allowing you to send CD quality stereo music from one device to 
another without wires. A2DP is crystal clear music without the hassle of 
plugging cables. Bluetooth Wireless Technology with the A2DP technology 
makes mobile phones, PDA’s and computers capable of streaming music.

10. Can I use my Blueant X5 Stereo Headset with USB Bluetooth 
Dongles? 

Yes, the X5 Stereo Bluetooth Headset can be used with USB dongles as 
long as A2DP, AVRCP, and Headset/Handsfree Profiles are supported by 
the USB Dongle driver. Note: At the time of printing, the Bluetooth drivers 
that come with Windows XP Service Pack 2 do not support these required 
profiles.
