S1 User GuideUsing More Than One Phone At The Same Time (Multipoint)
The S1 supports multipoint technology. This means that you can use one S1 car kit with two different mobile phones or Bluetooth devices at the same time: if either phone rings, you can answer it with the BlueAnt S1.
If I Have Two Phones Connected, Which One Will Be Used?
When you have two phones connected to the S1:
- You can answer calls received on either phone.
- If you initiate a call through the S1 (by using the
button to either redial the last call or use your phone's
voice dial feature), then the call will happen on whichever phone
is currently designated the primary phone. As explained below,
this is determined by a combination of connection order and active calls.
Which Phone Is The Primary Phone?
The primary phone is either the phone that connected to the S1 most recently or the phone that had the last active call:
- When your phones connect to the S1, the one that connects last becomes the primary.
- Every time you have an active call through the S1 (incoming or outgoing), the phone with the call becomes the primary phone.
- If both phones go out of range and come back into range together then the primary phone will be whichever one happens to reconnect last out of the two. In this case you will not be able to tell which phone is the primary until you either initiate a call through the S1 or receive a call on one of the phones.
Setting the Primary Phone
You can force the S1 to change the primary phone by doing any of the following:
- Answer an incoming call. The phone receiving the call will become the primary phone.
- Initiate a call from one of the phone handsets. The phone making the call will become the primary phone.
- Hold
for about 5 seconds. The primary and secondary phones will be
swapped.
