BlueTake BT400 GII Bluetooth Headset
What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is a standard that has been developed by a group of electronics
manufacturers. It is based on a low-cost, short-range radio link, Bluetooth can
connect many types of digital devices such as computers and mobile phones,
without a single cable in sight - giving you more freedom to roam about freely.
As Bluetooth utilizes a radio-based link, it does not require a line-of-sight
connection in order to communicate with devices... something needed when using
an Infra-red connection (IrDA). You could be using your laptop in one room and
send a document to print, to the printer in another room some distance away.
To establish a connection, two Bluetooth-equipped devices simply have to come
within a 10 meter range of each other.

This review will also take a look at all three of the above optional accessories
for the BT400 GII Headset.
In the Package:
Well designed packaging for the headset and extras.
The BT400 GII Headset arrives in a purpose
built and well designed plastic package that houses the headset itself and some
bundled extra's.
Included in the package is an AC Adaptor (with suitable a plug
for your country), a Quick Start leaflet, a mini CDROM, a BlueTake Warranty Card
and an extra ear-hook piece that allows the headset to be adjusted for left or
right ear usage.
Included in the package...
BlueTake warrants the BT400 GII Headset to be free from defects due to workmanship for a period of two years from the date of purchase.
Headset Close-up:
The BT400 GII Headset is small and lightweight device, that consists of two
moving parts and a main body piece that contains all the electronics inside it
and user control buttons on the top.
BT400 GII Headset - User Controls and Microphone | Microphone can be folded
closed...
On the top of the headset are three buttons. A 'Volume Up' and 'Volume Down' set of buttons (which have a plus and minus symbol on them to indicate function) and a main larger button that is used for powering the headset on and off, ending and starting calls and for pairing the device with a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone.
Volume Controls...
This main button is also backlight with an LED. It will flash blue when the power is on, remain a constant red colour when charging (until charging is complete) and flash between blue and red when the headset has been put into pairing mode. Audio tones are also emitted when pressing this button to confirm the mode entered:
| Turn On | Two high tones |
| Turn Off | Two low tones |
| Pairing Mode | Two high tones |
| Incoming Call | A ring tone at two second interval |
| Mute | Repeated two low beeps at a three second interval |
| Unmute | A single beep |
| Battery Low | Repeated beeps at sixteen second interval |
Towards the front of the device is
a microphone which can be folded within 180°. When the headset is not in use,
folding the microphone back reduces the size of the headset considerably for
easy storage. Although this is a moving part, it very feels solid and even when
we exerted a fair amount of force to push the microphone beyond it's designed
fold direction - it did not break off nor warp in anyway.
