How to Use Bluetooth to Listen in on a Phone
A Bluetooth headset allows users to remain connected to their mobile phones wirelessly using a radio signal that transfers data between the two devices. Once the phone and the headset are connected, users can make and receive hands-free calls. This technology makes it safer to drive a car, multitask around the house or ensure you don't miss a call looking for your phone. To use a Bluetooth headset, your phone must have a Bluetooth adapter installed.
