Using Hands‑free Calling

Using Bluetooth technology, your aera can 

connect to your mobile phone to become a 

hands-free device. 
To determine whether your device with 

Bluetooth technology is compatible with the 

aera, go to 

Bluetooth wireless technology establishes 

a wireless link between devices, such as a 

mobile phone and the aera. The first time you 

use two devices together, you must “pair” 

them by establishing a relationship using a 

PIN/passkey. After the initial pairing, the two 

devices can connect automatically each time 

you turn them on. 

To pair and connect, your device and the 

aera must be turned on and be within 33 feet 

(10 meters) of each other. The aera can be 

connected to a phone and a headset at the 

same time.
When you turn on the aera, it tries to connect 

to the last device to which it was connected. 

You might have to set your device to connect 

to the aera automatically when it is turned 

on.
When your phone is connected to your aera, 

you are ready to make phone calls. From the
