uses common Bluetooth hands free headsets the same way that they are used with a cell phone.
The Airtext app permits the user to dial with its keypad or from the devices phone book and the
audio/voice is handled with the hands free headset. Just like with a cell phone, a Bluetooth hands free
headset must be paired and connected. Airtext can be paired with multiple hands free headsets. Bluetooth
Pairing means that the router has saved information that permits fast and easy connection. Bluetooth
Connection means that there is currently data flowing between the two devices. The Airtext router
automatically connects to the last used headset if it is currently available. An icon displaying head set
connection status is shown at the top of the Voice Dial screen. It is bright blue when connected and grey
when not connected.
Just as with any cell phone and hands free headset, users must initiate a headset disconnection (button
push or power down) on the headset before the Airtext router or a common cell phone can connect to a
different headset.
A pop-up will appear on the screen asking the user to confirm the new Bluetooth pairing. Bluetooth setup

Connect a Bluetooth hands free headset as described in the previous section if its connection icon is not
bright blue.
Select a contact from your phone book and press dial. You will hear progress tones on the head set as the
system connects.
Iridium calls take a few extra seconds to connect, but once connected, act just like any other cell phone
call. Simply select the “disconnect” button on the Airtext app or the “disconnect” button on the headset
when the call is complete. The Iridium call will also be disconnected if the ground user hangs up or the
Bluetooth headset loses connection with the Airtext router for more than 30 seconds.
