device with A2DP, HFP and HSP profiles. This qualification program ensures that all Bluetooth
products comply with the Bluetooth Specification. Because these Bluetooth® enabled products passed these tests, they will most likely work with
other Bluetooth Qualified products. However, we cannot guarantee compatibility with every Bluetooth product on the market.
If your phone supports the A2DP Bluetooth profile and has a music player feature, you can also use the phone to play music with the hearing protec
-
tor.
