6.  How  far  can  my  cell  phone  be  from  the  Supertooth Light  and  still  remain 

connected?

 The  Supertooth Light  will  remain  connected  within  a  range  of  10  metres  (30  ft).  Sound 

quality may start to deteriorate after about 7 metres depending on your environment. 

7. Can other electrical devices cause interference with Bluetooth?

Bluetooth technology employs a technique called ‘frequency hopping’ to constantly change 

the frequency  at  which  it sends  data,  thus  reducing  interference  with  wireless  devices  like 

wireless LAN’s and cordless landline phones. However, noise interference can occur if the 

Bluetooth device  is used in  close proximity  with a microwave. Check if there are any such 

devices in the surroundings, and if so keep the distance between the Supertooth Light and 

such devices to at least 5 - 10m. Usually, any interference will only cause a slight crackling 

sound. The frequency of Bluetooth is much higher than that of radio station bands.

8.  If  I  cup  my  hand  over  a  Bluetooth  device  the  signal  strength  and  quality  suffers. 

Why does this happen?

Bluetooth signals are radio waves and do not need line of sight to operate. But, radio waves 

cannot travel through water and as the human body is made up of mostly water they cannot 

travel through it. Therefore, your hand will create a barrier causing slight interference and a 

loss of signal quality. 

9. What Bluetooth cell phones can use the Supertooth Light headset?

To use the Supertooth Light the phone must support either headset or hands free Bluetooth 

profiles. Some devices may only support data transmissions and not audio. 

10. What is the difference between Bluetooth V1.2 and V2.0?

V2.0  is  the  current  version  of  Bluetooth  with  Enhanced  Data  Rate  (EDR)  technology,  with 

data transfer rates of up to 3Mbps compared with 1Mbps in V1.2. 

Note: All BlueAnt products are forward and backward compatible (Our V1.2 products can be 

used with V2.0 phones and our V2.0 products can be used with V1.2 phones)
