VOIP Internet Chatting and the X3 micro

Connection
With a press of the X3’s Multi-Function
button you can seamlessly connect
to your PC/Mac’s Bluetooth port to
use programs such as Skype,
MSN Messenger, Yahoo
Messenger, Google Talk, Net
Meeting, ICQ etc.

On-The-Fly Device Switching
Swap the device the X3 is connected to with a press of a button,
even during a call. Switch between a Mobile phone, a Computer and a PDA. E.g. If you are using the X3 micro to chat over the internet using Skype when your mobile phone rings, simply use the Multi-function button on the X3 micro to switch to the mobile
phone and automatically answer the call.

	This feature is perfect for mobile phone users who also use a computer for internet chatting or a business person who has multiple phones. This is unique to the X3 micro, no other Bluetooth headset in the world has this feature.

Compatibility

Make phone calls for free by using voice chat software such as Skype, MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk, Net Meeting or ICQ etc. When connected to a computer, the X3 micro becomes the default Sound playback device so that any program which utilises the Soundcard can send and receive audio signals from to the headset.

To connect correctly your computers Bluetooth port must support the correct Bluetooth Profiles. These are the Headset Profile or the Handsfree Profile. Check with your computer vendor to make sure these profiles are supported. Also check for Bluetooth updates from your vendor as these Profiles may have been added after the computer went to market and can be downloaded from their site in a Bluetooth update/patch.

Windows PC

Internal Bluetooth Ports.
If your PC has Bluetooth built in, it most likely is using software from Broadcom/Widcomm, Toshiba or Bluesoleil. This software supports Headset/Handsfree and can be used with the X3.

To check which is being used – Click… Start Button > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Bluetooth USB

Or alternatively check the properties section of the Bluetooth interface to see which Profiles are supported.

Generally, updates for internal Bluetooth devices are provided by the maker of the PC and can be accessed from their support web pages.

External Bluetooth USB Dongles.
If you have a Bluetooth dongle that you plug into a USB port of you PC, you must load the software CD that came with the dongle.
All new Bluetooth dongles should have Headset or Handsfree Profiles. Older dongles may need updated drivers.

Check with the maker of the dongle for any updated drivers as the Headset/Handsfree profile may have been added if it is not already there. Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 includes its own generic Bluetooth software which does not support the Headset/Handsfree Bluetooth profiles.

Apple Mac.

Apple computers have their own Bluetooth Software which supports the Headset/Handsfree Profile. No external software is required for either Internal or External Bluetooth devices.
Compatibility depends on the Bluetooth module used and whether it supports these profiles.
