<Hands-free>

• Hands-free calls are a method of automatically switching between the transmitter and receiver so that the louder of the two is prioritized, making it audible by the quieter of the two. If the surrounding area is loud, the call may be interrupted, making it difficult to respond.
• During communication, the voice may not come through clearly when speaking before the other party has finished talking. Communication will proceed smoothly when waiting until the other party has finished before speaking.
• If you talk continuously, the noise cut function may judge this to be noise, and cut transmission/ reception. This is not a malfunction.

<Tips for Hands-free>

• If there is ambient noise, the sound may be cut off and difficult to hear.
• Communicate with the other party in turns. During communication, if you speak before the other person has finished talking, your voice may not come through clearly. Allow each person to finish speaking before responding.
