ENGLISH3IntroductionThe S4 speakerphone is the ﬁrst true handsfree voice controlled Bluetooth car speakerphone.There is no need to take your hands off the wheel or your eyes off the road to use the S4. Simply say the trigger phrase BlueAnt Speak To Me™, and the S4 will be ready for your voice commands.You can make outgoing calls and answer incoming calls using just your voice, and you will always know who is calling you without looking at your phone because the S4 will read out the caller’s name or number when the phone rings.Speak to meBlueAntTouch-Sensitive Volume ControlsHigh Performance SpeakerBattery IndicatorHandsfree Trigger IndicatorBluetooth IndicatorMicrophone

4Charge Your S4Your S4 has been given an initial partial charge to get you started, but for best results we recommend you charge it using the supplied USB cable and adaptor until the battery indicator light turns solid white. > You should charge the S4 whenever it announces Battery: Very Low, or when the battery indicator turns solid red. > A full charge takes about 3-4 hours. > During charging, the battery indicator light ﬂashes red. > When the light goes white, the charge is complete.OFF ONBlueAntBattery IndicatorCharging Port

ENGLISH5Pair the S4 with your PhoneTo use the S4 you need to pair it with your phone. Once paired, they will reconnect automatically in future.1. Slide the power switch on the side of the S4 to the ON position.2. If this is the ﬁrst time you have used the S4 it will go straight to pairing mode. You can tell that the S4 is in pairing mode because the S4’s indicator lights will alternately ﬂash blue and red, and the voice prompts will talk you through the pairing process. If this does not happen, say BlueAnt Speak To Me, wait for the S4 to ask you to Say A Command and then say Pair Me.3. Follow the voice prompts to pair the S4 with your phone. The pairing code is 0000 (four zeros).4. Once the pairing is complete, your S4 will attempt to copy the contacts from your phone’s address book so that it can announce the name of the caller when you receive a call. Please wait for the phonebook upload to ﬁnish. Some phones do not support automatic phonebook transfers. If this is the case on your phone, the S4 will

6announce that it cannot transfer the contacts automatically. See “Uploading your Phonebook Contacts to the S4” on page 13 for details on how to copy the contacts manually.5. Once the phonebook upload is complete, you are ready to go.Install the S4 in your Car1. Slide the sun visor clip onto the edge of the car sun visor2. Attach the magnetic back of the S4 to the ﬁxed sun visor clip.1Sun Visor Clip2BlueAnt

ENGLISH7Using the Handsfree TriggerYour S4 is designed to be a true handsfree device. Simply say the trigger phrase BlueAnt Speak To Me and the S4 will be ready to receive your voice commands. When the S4 asks you to Say A Command, say one of the voice commands loudly and clearly.Please note: The handsfree trigger only works when the solid green handsfree trigger indicator light on the front of the device is on. This tells you that the S4 is currently listening for your voice.BlueAntBlueAntBlueAnt: Speak To Me Say A CommandHandsfree Trigger Indicator1 2

8Handsfree Trigger Battery Saving ModeUsing the trigger gives you true handsfree operation, but because the S4 is always listening for your voice this feature reduces the device’s battery life. If you want your S4 to run for longer between charges, you can use the “battery saving mode”. In this mode the S4 only listens for 2 minutes after the last action. Once the 2 minutes are up, the green indicator light goes out and the S4 stops listening. When you want to do something, tap theBlueAntbutton in the middle of the volume controls instead of saying BlueAnt Speak To Me: To activate battery saving mode, slide the power switch to the middle position: OFF ONBlueAntBlueAntSay A Command1 2

ENGLISH9Adjusting the VolumeThe volume bar is touch sensitive. To adjust the volume, swipe your ﬁnger to the left or the right along the top of the S4.You can also adjust the volume by holding down the - and + buttons. Making Phone CallsYou can use your voice to make calls. Just say BlueAnt Speak To Me andwait for the S4 to ask you to Say A Command, then say one of these voice commands: > Say Phone Commands to activate the voice dial feature on your phone(if your phone supports voice dialing). > Say Redial to redial the last number you called on your phone. > Say Call Back to call back the last call you received on the S4.BlueAnt

10Taking CallsWhen the phone rings, you can answer the call with your voice: wait for the prompt to ask you if you want to take the call, and then say Answer or Ignore.You can also answer or ignore a call by tapping theBlueAntbutton in the middle of the volume controls: > Tap once to accept the call. > Double tap to reject the call.During a call, tap theBlueAntbutton to end the call.BlueAntBlueAnt

ENGLISH11Full List of Voice CommandsWhen you want to do something, just say BlueAnt Speak To Me, wait for the S4 to ask you to Say A Command, and then say one of the following commands: > Am I Connected? — The S4 will check if your phone is connected, and attempt to connect if it is not. > Call Back — Calls back the last incoming call received on the S4. > Cancel — Cancels the current operation. > Check Battery — Tells you the battery level on the S4 and the connected phone. > Favorites — Gives you quick access to stock quotes, news, sports updates, trafﬁc information, weather, and more by dialing information services that have been pre-stored in your S4. Wait for the S4 to ask you Which Favorite? then say one of the following: Information Movies Navigate News Sports Stock Quotes Trafﬁc Weather

12 > Pair Me — Puts the S4 into pairing mode. Any connected phone will be disconnected. > Phone Commands — Activates your phone’s voice dialing feature (if available). Depending on your phone model, you may need to record voice tags on the phone to use this feature. > Redial — Redials the last outgoing call made on the connected phone. This is the last outgoing call made on the phone, regardless of whether the phone was connected to the S4 at the time. > Sensitivity Level — Conﬁgures the sensitivity of the S4’s voice recognition. > LED Light — Turns the LEDs on or off. When the LEDs are set to off, they still light up when you turn the S4 on or off, but will not ﬂash at other times. > Update Phonebook — Updates your phonebook contacts on the S4. If you add contacts to your phone, or change the numbers associated with existing contacts, then you will need to use this command to copy the updated contacts to the S4. > What Can I Say? — Reads out a list of all the commands available on the current menu.

ENGLISH13Uploading your Phonebook Contacts to the S4Your S4 uses Text To Speech technology (TTS) to read out the name of the person who is calling you. To do this, the S4 needs to store a copy of your phonebook contacts.Automatically Transferring your Contacts to the S4When you pair your phone with the S4 it will attempt to copy the contacts from your phone automatically. Depending on the size of your phonebook, this may take some time.Manually Transferring your Contacts to the S4Some phones do not support automatic phonebook uploads: if this is the case on your phone then the S4 will instruct you to start sending contacts to the S4 manually. To do this:1. Wait to be prompted to start sending contacts to the S4.2. Go to your phonebook and select the contacts you want to send to the S4. Choose the option to “Mark All” or “Select All” if this is available on your phone (if this is not available, you will need to transfer each contact individually).

143. Select the option on your phone to send the contacts via Bluetooth, and select the S4 from the list of available Bluetooth devices.Updating your Contacts on the S4If you add contacts to your phone, or rename one of your existing contacts, then you will need to update the contacts on your S4 by doing the following.1. Say BlueAnt Speak To Me, and wait for the S4 to ask you to Say A Command.2. Say Update Phonebook. 3. The S4 will attempt to copy your phonebook automatically. If this is not possible on your phone then you will be prompted to upload the contacts manually, as described in “Manually Transferring your Contacts to the S4” on page 13.Listening to AudioThe S4 supports A2DP audio streaming: if your phone or Bluetooth device supports the A2DP proﬁle then you can simply start playing music or any other audio (including turn-by-turn directions from a GPS application on

ENGLISH15your phone) and the audio will automatically transfer to the S4.If the phone rings the audio will pause automatically. > Tap theBlueAntbutton to accept the call > Double tap theBlueAntbutton to ignore the call The audio will resume when the call ends.If you want to exit A2DP streaming mode to do something else, tap theBlueAntbutton: the S4 will ask you to Say A Command.

16Multipoint: Using 2 Phones with the S4The S4 can store pairing information for up to 4 Bluetooth devices. Up to 2 devices can connect to the S4 at the same time: if either phone rings, you can answer it with the S4.Use the “Pair Me” command to put your S4 back into pairing mode to pair another phone. Any currently connected phone will be disconnected during pairing, so you will need to reconnect afterwards.Which Phone is Used for Calls?When you have two phones connected to the S4 at the same time you can always answer an incoming call on either phone. If you initiate a call or a phone function through the S4 (for example by saying Phone Commands, Redial or Call Back) then the call or phone function takes place on the primary phone: the one that connected to the S4 ﬁrst.The primary phone will change when your phones disconnect from the S4 and reconnect, if they reconnect in a different order.Please note that the Redial command calls a different number depending on which phone is used. When you say Redial the S4 instructs the primary phone to redial its last outgoing call, so the number called will depend

ENGLISH17on which phone is the current primary phone. This is different to Call Back, which calls a number stored in the S4. Call Back will always call the last incoming call received on the S4, regardless of which phone received the call.Multiple Calls (Call Waiting)If you receive an incoming call while you are already on a call, and your phone and network both support call waiting, then you can use the S4 buttons to either end the current call or put it on hold and take the new call.When you have a call waiting the S4 will play a sound to alert you: > Hold the + button for about 1 second to put your current call on hold and answer the incoming call. > Hold the - button for about 1 second to end the current call and answer the incoming call. > Once you have a call on hold, you can switch between the calls by holding + for about 1 second. This will put the current call on hold and switch to the other call. > If you have a call on hold and your active call ends, then depending on your phone the other call may remain on hold. If this happens, hold + for about 1 second to release the hold and resume the other call.

18If you are using multipoint, you can also use the same controls to switch between calls on both phones.Switching the S4 On and OffTo switch the S4 on or off, use the hardware power switch located on the side of the device. > Slide the switch to the ON position to use the S4 in handsfree trigger mode. > Slide the switch to the position to use the S4 in battery saving mode. In this mode the S4 will only listen for the trigger phrase for 2 minutes after you do something. Once the 2 minutes are up you must tap theBlueAntbutton to activate the S4’s voice recognition. > Slide the switch to the OFF position to turn the S4 off.Firmware UpgradesTo enhance your experience, we are continually improving the S4 software.From time to time we will make feature enhancements available on our website for you to download and apply to your S4. Go to www.blueantwireless.com for full details on the latest upgrades available for your S4.

ENGLISH21S4 Function Button WhenReset the S4 Hold + and - for 6 seconds IdleTroubleshootingI Cannot Upload my Phonebook to the S4In order to copy your phonebook to the S4, your phone must support either the Phonebook Access Proﬁle (PBAP), AT commands, or the Object Push Proﬁle (OPP). If your phone does not support any of these Bluetooth proﬁles, then you will not be able to copy your contacts to the S4. When you receive a call, the S4 will read out the caller’s number instead.Some phones do not support automatic phonebook transfers. If this is the case on your phone then you will need to manually send the contacts to the S4, as described in “Manually Transferring your Contacts to the S4” on page 13.The amount of time it takes to copy the contacts will depend on which proﬁle your phone supports and the number of contacts in your phonebook.

22The S4 Does Not Announce the Caller’s NameThe S4 will only announce the name if the caller’s name and number are stored in your phonebook and have been copied to the S4 (your phonebook is automatically copied across when you pair your phone).If you add a number to your phonebook after pairing, then the S4 will not read out the name associated with this number unless you use the Update Phonebook command to update the phonebook details on the S4.The S4 will not read out the caller’s name or number if the caller withholds their number.The S4 Reads Out the Wrong NameIf the S4 is reading out the wrong name then it is likely that you have changed the contacts in your phone without updating the contacts on the S4. If you make any changes to your phonebook, use the Update Phonebook command to copy these changes to the S4.How Many Contacts Can I Store on the S4?The S4 can store up to 2,000 phone numbers for each paired device.

ENGLISH23Each number stored in your phone counts towards this limit. For example, if you have a business, home, and mobile number stored for one of your contacts, then this counts as 3 separate numbers.The S4 Does Not Respond to “BlueAnt Speak To Me”The trigger only works when the green handsfree trigger indicator light is on.If the green light is off, tap theBlueAntbutton to activate voice control, instead of saying the trigger phrase.My Phone Does Not Automatically Reconnect to the S4Once you have paired the S4 with your phone they should automatically reconnect every time they come back into range with each other.If this does not happen, or if your phone prompts you to conﬁrm whether you want to accept the connection from the S4, then you should conﬁgure your phone to treat the S4 as a “trusted connection” or a “trusted device”.The exact option to change will depend on your phone model, but you need to go to the Bluetooth menu and locate the S4 in the list of paired devices, then conﬁgure the S4 to be an “authorized device” or add it to your

24phone’s list of “trusted devices”.My Phone Prompts me for a Code when I Pair the S4Enter the code 0000 (four zeros).The S4 Switches Itself OffIf the battery gets very low, the S4 will switch itself off automatically. You should charge the S4 using the supplied USB cable and adaptor.The S4 Does Not Respond to my Voice CommandsIf you are having trouble getting the S4 to respond to your voice commands, try the following tips: > You must wait for the S4 to ﬁnish asking you to Say A Command before you say the command. > When you have an incoming call, you must wait for the S4 to ﬁnish asking you if you want to Answer or Ignore the call before saying the command. > Make sure you say the command clearly, speaking at a consistent speed.

ENGLISH25 > If the S4 does not respond, repeat the command. > Speak louder than any background noise. > Try changing the S4’s sensitivity level. This setting determines how precisely the words that you say need to match the speech patterns that the S4 has been conﬁgured to recognize. You can change it by using the Sensitivity Level command. When the level is set to “High” the commands you give the S4 will need to match the speech pattern it is expecting more exactly, while “Low” is less restrictive and will accept your commands even if they do not precisely match the expected speech pattern. > If the S4 does not respond to your voice commands at all, change to a lower sensitivity level. > If the S4 often carries out the wrong command, change to a higher sensitivity level. > If you are in a very noisy place, you may ﬁnd that it is easier to answer a call using the S4 buttons: tap the middle of the volume controls to answer the call, or double tap to reject the call.The S4 Played a Beep or ToneThe S4 plays beeps and sounds to let you know when certain things happen. If the S4 played a beep or sound, then one of the following has happened:

26 > If the battery level drops to very low, then the S4 will play a low battery sound and automatically switch itself off. > If you take the S4 out of range of your phone, then it will play a sound to indicate that it has lost the connection to your phone. > The S4 plays a beep when you end a call. > The S4 plays a beep when you adjust the volume to the maximum or minimum volume level. > The S4 plays a call waiting sound if you receive an incoming call while you are on a call. You can use the S4 buttons to answer the call.The S4 Light is DistractingBy default the Bluetooth indicator will ﬂash blue at regular intervals to indicate that the S4 is switched on. If you prefer, you can switch this light off. You might want to turn off the light if you ﬁnd it distracting, for example if you are using the S4 while driving at night.When you turn the LEDs off, they will still light up when you turn the S4 on and off, but not at other times.To turn the lights off or back on again, use the LED Light command.

ENGLISH27Resetting the S4If you are having problems with the S4, you can reset it and start again. Resetting the S4 will clear all the stored pairing settings on the S4, delete any stored contact details and put the device back into pairing mode.To reset the S4:1. Delete any existing pairing information from your phone and turn it off and back on again to refresh the phone memory.2. Make sure the S4 is switched on but not connected to any phones.3. Hold + and - for about 6 seconds, until the S4 announces that it has been reset.4. Now turn the S4 off and back on again.You will now need to pair your phone with the S4 again.
