GENERAL BLUETOOTH OPERATION AND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
●
What is the Industry Standard Range for Bluetooth Wireless
Technology?
The industry standard range for Bluetooth wireless technology is 10
meters (30 feet). The RT-550BT will loose its pairing with the mobile
phone if the mobile phone and the RT-550BT are separated further than
this. The RT-550BT will automatically re-connect with cell phone when
user comes back into range.
●
How many phones can the RT-550BT pair with?
The RT-550BT can only pair with one mobile phone at a time. This is
the standard operation for any Bluetooth headset or in-car Bluetooth
system.
●
Do I need to have my mobile phone with me?
Yes, the phone call is actually completed through your mobile phone
and your mobile phone operator/carrier. The mobile phone must be with
the 10 meters (30 feet) range of the RT-550BT. The RT-550BT does not
increase the offshore range of your mobile phone.

●
Can I use a standard Bluetooth headset with this radio?
No, the RT-550BT is using the headset profile of the Bluetooth
specification to pair with your mobile phone. It can not pair to another
Bluetooth headset.
●
Can I use this unit as a speakerphone or hands-free device?
Turning on VOX allows you to use the radio without pressing the PTT
(Push to Talk) button. The radio will still need to be operated in a face
held position with the microphone close to the mouth. This radio uses
a noise cancelling microphone, and it will not operate well from the belt
clip or another hands-free position.
●
Please make sure to note your VOX setting.
If VOX is set to On, then the receiving caller might hear conversation
and noise in your background. This setting is retained in memory. If
switched On, then it will be On the next time the radio is switched On
and paired.
●
Can I use my mobile phone for emergency use?
No, NAVICOM does not endorse mobile phones as a substitute for marine
radios. They generally cannot communicate with rescue vessels and, if
you make a distress call on your mobile phone, only the party you call will
be able to hear you. Additionally, mobile phones may have limited coverage
over water. If you do not know where you are, the coastguard will have
difficulty finding you if you are using your mobile phone. However, mobile
phones can have a place on board where mobile coverage is available to
–
allow social conversations and keep the marine frequencies uncluttered
and available for their intended use.
The mobile phone will begin to dial the contact it recognizes. The call

will be complete through the speaker and microphone of the RT-550BT.
