5 OPTIONS Using a Bluetooth® device You can connect to a Bluetooth device with built-in Bluetooth wireless technology. LLOnly the VS-3 headset performance is guaranteed as of August 2019. ••The Bluetooth function may not be usable, depending on the presetting. Ask your dealer for details. ••The communication range of Bluetooth is approximately 10 m (33 ft). LLMay vary, depending on the environment in which the device operates. ••Although you can enter up to 6 Bluetooth devices in the transceiver device list, it is recommended that you pair only one device at a time. Electromagnetic Interference When you use a Bluetooth device, pay attention to the following: Bluetooth devices operate in the 2.4 GHz band that is also used by other appliances, such as Wireless LAN products, microwave ovens, RFID systems, amateur radio stations, and so on. When using a Bluetooth device near such devices, interference may occur, causing a decrease in communication speed, and an unstable connection. In such case, keep the Bluetooth devices away from the other appliances, or stop using those devices. Bringing the Bluetooth device and the transceiver closer together also improves communication.

The VS-3 has a [PTT] switch, so you can transmit in the same way as using the transceiver's [PTT] switch. ••The [FWD], [RWD], and [PLAY] keys on the VS-3 are disabled while using the headset with the IP501M. ••If the headset does not work correctly, even if the power is ON, push [RESET] with a pin to force power OFF.
