What is Bluetooth?

Bluetooth technology provides a way to wirelessly
connect cell phones, laptops, headsets and other
devices.
®
Over a Bluetooth connection the devices can exchange
information such as data, sound or even control commands.
The range of the Bluetooth connection in the Tek remote
control is about 10 meters. Walls or other objects between the
devices can shorten this distance.
The Bluetooth symbol denotes whether a device is Bluetooth
compatible.
The miniTek and Tek remote control can be connected via
Bluetooth wireless technology to your cell phone or to the Tek
transmitter.
Follow the instructions in the following chapters to hear the
sound of your cell phone, your TV or your MP3 player directly in
your hearing instrument(s).
